Walking out of Darkness · 6 May 2017

We’re leading the fight for a future where all young minds are supported and empowered, whatever the challenges. We’re here to make sure children and young people get the best possible mental health support and have the resilience to overcome life’s difficulties. Join our fight.

Story

On Saturday 6th May we will be taking part in an 8 mile charity walk in support of Walking out of Darkness. The Birmingham walk is to raise the profile of all things to do with Mental Health during Mental Health week 2017 - 8th to 14th May.

Our team have all been touched by Mental Health issues over the years, whether it be ourselves, family members or friends. 

We can see for ourselves the massive impact mental health has on children from such a young age, which if not supported manifests into some thing so much bigger in later life. It truly is heartbreaking for all involved. 

Our chosen Charity is Young Minds (partner Charity of Heads Together) which supports children and their families.

The voice for young people's mental health and wellbeing

YoungMinds is the UK’s leading charity committed to improving the emotional wellbeing and mental health of children and young people. 

Wise Up to Wellbeing in Schools

A major new campaign, Wise Up, calls on the Government to rebalance the education system so that the wellbeing of students is as important as academic achievement.

We would really like to raise money whilst we are walking, it doesn't matter how much you could donate, anything would be gratefully received.
