Hi everyone! Thank you for visiting my Just Giving page.

I have organised a club night fundraiser in Blackpool in support of Rethink Mental Illness. This Just Giving page is in no way related to the event itself but is simply here to make you all aware of what my efforts are, how I want to increase the amount raised and also, to seek support from others who can relate to the cause. The reason for the event is to raise money for the fantastic charity 'Rethink Mental Illness' that works tirelessly by helping people who experience and live with mental health issues. I am here to ask for people's support and to help by donating to such a fantastic charity.

I myself live with mental health issues as I live with experiencing anxiety and depression everyday. Mental health issues affect 1 in 4 people in the UK and that is a very high statistic. There is a stigma attached to mental health illnesses/issues which need to be stamped out. Many people don't understand the full extent of these issues, simply because they cannot be seen. That in turn, makes those living with these illnesses/issues often feel alone, isolated and misunderstood. We have all seen the shocking statistics in the number of people taking their own lives due to mental health illnesses/issues and charities such as Rethink are doing everything they possibly can to help! Efforts such as that need to be rewarded and without fundraising events and donations from the public, they would not be able to do the work they do today.

So, as someone living with mental health issues and knowing many others who do too, I am asking for help in reaching a goal of £500 to donate to Rethink. To achieve this would be AMAZING!

Thank you all so so much for taking the time to read mt Just Giving page.
