Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

For many, the act of making and creating offers solace and a means to combat mental health challenges. The Edinburgh Forge community workshop provides a haven for individuals to explore their creative potential and find therapeutic benefits in craftsmanship.

However, for those without access to such facilities, organisations like SAMH are crucial in offering support and resources.

The journey from Glasgow to Edinburgh is more than a physical challenge; it is a call to action.

We hope to raise significant funds and awareness for SAMH, ensuring that those struggling with mental health issues have access to the help they need.

Creativity and making have been a lifeline for many, offering a way to channel emotions and find peace, but not everyone has access to these opportunities.

SAMH does incredible work in supporting mental health, and we hope our journey will help them continue their essential services.

Many thanks,

Lorenzo Dalberto & Jack Hellberg
