Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I work for Lloyds Banking Group and we are proud to be working in partnership with Mental Health UK*.  We are aiming to raise at least £2million per year (across 2017/18).  *Mental Health UK is a network of four national charities working across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to improve the lives of people with mental illness, and to support carers.  Together Rethink Mental Illness, Support in Mind Scotland, Hafal and MindWise have worked for over 40 years to provide services, information and advise to support anyone affected by mental illness.

Mental illness affects more people every year than cancer or heart disease.  One in four of us in the UK will be affected by a mental health problem in any given year, and of these, around four million will also struggle with their financial wellbeing.  Through early interventions and support, the impact of poor mental health can be reduced.

Mental Health UK run over 400 services and have 200 volunteer support groups in communities around the UK.  Over 90,000 people rely on the organisations every year to help them get through crises, live independently and realise they are no alone.  Last year their health information was accessed over 3.6 million times online.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.  Your details are safe with JustGiving - they never sell them or send unwanted emails.  Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity.  So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
