Mind, the mental health charity, needs our help more than ever.

An unfortunate outcome from the trauma endured by coronavirus is a rise in mental ill-health.  Having survived severe forms of the coronavirus is causing anxiety to sky rocket.  Lockdown is causing loneliness and depression to sore.  Loss of loved ones and colleagues is causing loss trauma. Key workers surrounded by the coronavirus unable to control it are feeling traumatised and anxious about contracting it and passing it to their loved ones. 

As more of us start to feel the impact of coronavirus on our mental health, it is incredibly important that mental health charities, like Mind, have the resources to take action now. 

Demand for their vital support and services will grow – and Mind, and other mental health charities and services, must be equipped to meet this demand.  Not least through an expanded workforce to meet this demand but also for PPE for their 10.000+ strong staff up and down the UK. 

However, many sources of fundraising have understandably been cancelled, including the closing of Mind’s own shops. So now more than ever Mind needs your support.

I do appreciate that we need to designate as much of our charitable funds for PPE to where is it is needed most and I hope this fund raising effort will serve 2 priorities: help Mind respond better to the rise in mental health and also help protect their staff by fund their growing PPE needs. 

Please support me to raise funds for Mind.
