Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I am walking the Cornish Coast, at least 56 miles, for Richmond Borough Mind (RB Mind) in August 2009.
RB Mind is a charity that works at a local level in Richmond Upon
Thames to improve the mental health of the local community, service
users and their Carers. RB Mind has been working hard in the borough
of Richmond since 1959 and is run largely by local people, 21 staff and
around 90 volunteers, many of whom have lived experience of mental
distress. We operate Carers, Counselling, Peer Support, Timebanking,
Eco-therapy, Community Development and Drop-in services. Each year we
help around 750 local people on a practical, emotional and therapeutic
level - I work in their office and I can verify that they are very busy people!
RB Mind's vision is a society where people who experience mental distress are flourishing within their local communities, and we will not stop our work until people with experience of mental distress have the same opportunities as every one else to play an active part in their communities.
However, we depend a lot on grant aid and donations from local supporters. This year members of 'Team RB' are taking part in a selection of individual fundraising events to help raise money for RB Mind - a Trustee is going to run a 10k and the Director Emma is doing the London Triathlon.Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
So please dig deep and donate now.
Thank you!
Paul
