The mental health and wellbeing of students at the University of Bristol is a key priority. Suffering with mental ill health disrupts students' academic studies and personal lives, often causing them to miss out on the transformative and enriching experiences offered by higher education.

I'll be running the London Marathon in April 2025 to support the Healthy Minds programme, which helps students affected by mental ill-health to get more active through user-led, personalised support. Since 2016, the programme has helped over 600 students.

Students gain a healthy routine, improved confidence, a sense of community and a supportive network. Upon completion of the programme, 78% of participants score within or higher than the national average mental health score.

Any amount you can give will enable the programme to grow further and extend the support offered to students. Thank you for your generosity!
