On 25th October, a number of us will take part in a 20 mile walk with the aim to donate to Mental Health UK who are LBG charity of the year.
We don't just do it because of the link the charity has got with our workplace though. Every day people suffer from depression, anxiety, stress and some of us have experienced it first hand. The help which is widely available to everyone can transform people's lives but mental health is still not being talked about as much as it should. 1 in 4 of us are affected by mental health, yet not many feel comfortable talking about their experiences.
Supporting the great work by the Mental Health UK charity means we are enabling them to help even more people and increase awareness.
People with mental health conditions deserve just as much support and compassion as people with physical health conditions.
