Hello everyone,

This July, I will be participating in the Tough Mudder challenge, a grueling and exhilarating obstacle course designed to test strength, stamina, and mental grit. I was roped into this adventure by my new colleagues, and as the new kid at the company, I felt it was the perfect opportunity to bond with the team and make a difference for a cause I believe in; Mind, the mental health charity.

Why Mind Charity?

A couple of years ago, I lost a friend after a struggle with his mental health. He was a bright light in many lives and had a unique way of spreading joy and positivity. He was Fondly known as 'Captain Yorkshire.' As I tuned into his funeral from Germany, the crucial need for accessible and supportive mental health resources became apparent. He had tried to seek help and couldn't find any.

About Mind

Mind Charity is a lifeline for so many people facing mental health challenges. Their mission is to ensure that no one has to face a mental health problem alone. They provide crucial services, including:

Infoline: Confidential help and advice for the price of a local call.

Legal Line: Information on mental health-related law for the public, service users, family members, carers, professionals, and advocates.

Award-winning information: Empowering individuals with the knowledge to understand their condition and make informed choices.

Why Your Support Matters

Every year, one in four of us will experience a mental health problem. Despite this, hundreds of thousands still struggle to get the support they need. Mind's work is vital in offering hope, support, and a pathway to recovery for those in need. By donating, you can help Mind continue their fight for better mental health.

Thomas
