Many people will go through periods of their lives where maintaining their mental health is a daily challenge. 

I'm grateful that there are people like the team at Bath Mind that can be there for people when they need it and so I want to support them in their work. 

Running has such a positive impact on my personal mental health so taking on the challenge of a half marathon on their behalf seems fitting.

A message from Bath Mind

What are Bath Mind fundraising for at the Bath Half 2022?

Bath Mind will be returning to the Bath Half to raise funds for our vital Breathing Space and Befriending services.

Breathing Space, our evening crisis support line, runs every evening throughout the year and provides a trained listening ear for anyone at risk of poor mental health.

Our Befriending service is here to support anyone needing regular support and check-in calls, where our experienced team listen and offer advice to promote positive health and wellbeing and building confidence around accessing different areas of support in the community.

These services have proved to be a life line for hundreds of people in our community throughout the COVID-19 lockdown and beyond. Together, we believe the our Bath Half 2022 Bath Mind runners team can ensure these services can sustain and grow to support even more people across B&NES.
