Hi everyone thanks for taking the time to visit the Roberts' Family JustGiving page.
Its hard to ask friends and family to sponsor you, especially in todays climate; but if you choose to sponsor us your donation will help our members. 1 in 4 of us will have mental health issues at some point in our lives and Harrow has a current population of well over 200,000 people - our services are MUCH needed!!!!
Mind in Harrow's sevices range from one to one support with individuals and their families through to befriending, the outings group, self-help groups, leisure & educational courses, User-Led Training, Somali Advocacy, the Carers project, Community Development work, Migrant and Faith project and the User Involvement and its service user group also strives to dispel stereotypes and myths surrounding mental health, and help get people back on their feet.Visit www.mindinharrow.org.uk to see some of our amazing current work.
Your sponsorship will help Mind in Harrow continue its vital work and fund special outings for some of the older service users too. It does not cost much to make a real difference - just £180 could pay for a social activity for 12 people experiencing mental distress - helping to reduce their isolation and increase their confidence, well-being and enjoyment of life.
So why Mind in Harrow??? As most of you will know I have worked for Mind in Harrow for nearly 11 years. They are a fantastic group of people to work with; who work really hard to improve the lives of those suffering from mental health. They have supported me and the kids through the hard times - nothing was ever to much to ask. This sponsored walk is a way of repaying Mind in Harrow for its kindness, thoughtfulness and support.
So please! please! please! sponsor us - that is Tracey, Thomas, Charlotte, Georgina and Rebecca on our 10K sponsored walk this Sunday 27th June 2010.
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. Thanks to all of you who have sponsored us already. And a big thank you to my children who have been doing all the running around getting sponsors.
Thanking you for all your support
Tracey, Thomas, Charlotte, Georgina and Rebecca xxxxx
