Thanks for visiting our team fundraising page. We are a society affiliated with Heriot-Watt Student Union and over the course of a weekend (February 19th - 21st) various members will be undertaking a 24 hour streamathon. The ongoing coronavirus pandemic has continued to strain many people's mental health.
Some Mental Health Facts:
According to the Scottish government, 1 in 3 people are estimated to suffer a form of mental illness.
According to the NHS, people suffering from mental illnesses can have a reduced life span of up to 20 years in comparison to their peers, due to physical side-effects of stress and increased risk to health complications such as heart disease.
