On Friday 18 September we three fellas (Matt, Stephen and Tommo) are undertaking the annual Staples2Naples banger rally, the original and leading European banger rally and in turn raising as much money as we can for our chosen charity; Papyrus - Prevention of Young Suicides.

 

The monumental challenge we face is getting our £84 vehicle (a 1995 Peugeot 405 TURBO) from Calais to Rome in 4 days – dressed as The Stig from Top Gear. That’s about 1,500 miles taking in at least 3 countries; France, Switzerland and Italy on some of the narrowest, highest passes that the Alps have to offer.

A particular thank you has to go out to Roger and his Team at TR Autos in Bidford for getting this beast of a car back on the road. They donated their time and parts to get it through it's MOT to allow us to raise some important money for an important cause so thanks to them! www.trautos.co.uk


PAPYRUS is a UK charity committed to suicide prevention, focusing predominantly on the emotional well-being of children, teenagers and young adults. We offer the general public and professionals alike, the requisite resources and support to help prevent suicide and improve mental health in young people. While preventing youth suicide is our primary focus, our concern in preventing suicide encompasses all age groups.

The main aims of PAPYRUS are:

1. To promote an understanding of the unique contribution that parents, families and carers can make to suicide prevention by:

a. providing assistance to parents and others, in a caring or professional role, in supporting vulnerable young people.
b. being represented in policy making decisions at all levels and monitoring their implementation.
c. encouraging, initiating and taking part in the development of learning opportunities for all.
d. encouraging, taking part and/or initiating research into suicide prevention.
e. campaigning for adequate mental health services for young people, and an easily accessible route to such help on an informal basis.

2. To promote public awareness of the importance of emotional well-being and sound mental health by:

a. promoting awareness of the risk of mental or emotional distress during adolescence and throughout life, and helping to remove the stigma of such occurrences.
b. encouraging the promotion of emotional well-being and sound mental health, in all levels of education.
c. co-operating with professional, statutory and voluntary bodies working in the suicide prevention field.
d. encouraging and disseminating examples of good practice in suicide prevention.


ANY tips on Hitch-hiking will be gratefully received!!!
