This opportunity means a lot to me - a boost to our mental health never goes amiss, now as much as ever.

I'm taking the plunge for a great cause: better mental health for everyone in Calderdale!

Please donate and help support Healthy Minds' brilliant work.

The fundraising swim will take place at 2 PM on October 1st all across the borough - at Brighouse, Sowerby Bridge and Todmorden pools. Come and cheer me on - I'll be swimming 800m on the day - it'll be tough, but can't wait!

Healthy Minds provide high-quality mental health services to individuals and families in Calderdale. They promote awareness and reduce stigma by partnering with local organisations, and providing education and resources that empower people to take control of their mental health.
