Hello everyone,

I am currently trying to fundraise to help a wonderful mental health charity called Body and Soul (more info down below). Body and soul are extremely close to my heart, just over a year ago I was struggling extremely badly with my mental health, I was somebody who had suffered with depression and anxiety for over a decade but last year reached a point where I was in crisis and attempted suicide.

Through the crisis team I was referred to body and soul who over the last year without a shadow of a doubt have saved my life. The continued support I have received has been second to none and I can whole heartedly say I would not be here today without them.

Body and soul is a lifelong community they offer life long support to those who come through their doors with no discharge dates, this continues to be a safety net for people like myself who have struggled and who know they will need life long help and support.

Unfortunately as we know mental health funding is minimal and so for Body and soul to be able to continue the exceptional support they give to so many people I am asking those close to me to please donate what you can to help no matter how big or small! This will enable people like myself to continue to receive such transformative support.

Thank you!
