On September 16th two friends and I are undertaking a 2 mile open water swim in the serpentine in Hyde park. I am doing this to raise money for Mental Health UK.

Mental Health UK brings together four national mental health charities working across the UK. With over 40 years’ experience working to improve the lives of people affected by mental illness, the charity is raising money so that more people across the country can access support for themselves or their family and friends.

My employer has a partnership with Mental Health Uk. Through this partnership, we will work with Mental Health UK to create a pioneering Mental Health and Money Advice Service which will offer support for people experiencing both mental health and financial difficulties.
