In May we'll be lacing up our trainers and taking on the challenge of running the Hackney Half Marathon to support the work of Mind in the City, Hackney and Waltham Forest (Mind CHWF). Since the start of the pandemic, around one third of adults and young people have said their mental health has got much worse. The trauma that people have experienced over the last two years means there has been an increase in the demand on mental health servicesMind in the City, Hackney and Waltham Forest offer a range of support and to members of the community who are struggling daily with their mental health and need funding more than ever before to respond to the increase in demand. Just £25 could pay for a low-income client with serious enduring mental health issues to attend a Managing Anger and Difficult Emotions group. We’d be so grateful for any donations!
