Thanks for taking the time to our JustGiving page.

Walk for Wellbeing

World Mental Health Day is on October 10th 2020 and a few of us at the Bluebird Care Franchise Support Centre want to raise awareness of this amazing day and to encourage everyone to consider the mental wellbeing of themselves and others, especially during these challenging times.

Currently taking part in this walk is:

Katy Falconer - Head of People

Brendan Simpson - Quality Manager

John Wilberforce - Business Development Manager

Julie Gambrill - Business Development Lead

James Gillespie - Quality Manager 

Allie Gillespie - James’ wife!

The aim is to walk 10 miles, which is approximately 20,000 steps. The 20,000 steps will be logged on the amazing YuLife App, so that we can share when we hit the 20,000 mark!

The main purpose of our walk falls into three areas:

  1. To draw attention to World Mental Health Day.
  2. To raise money for an excellent cause.
  3. To highlight the benefit that exercise can have
    on your mental and physical health (Obesity also puts you at greater risk of Covid-19).

Sane do some amazing work! Any donation you make will benefit those needing additional support during this time.
