In memory of Isabella Semple
We aim to build and run a facility in the shadows of Goodison Park to promote positive mental health and provide support related to suicide awareness and prevention.

Story

The People's Place aims to lift the lid on the taboo subject of mental health and encourage people to talk more freely and openly when they are experiencing problems. Promoting positive mental health and encouraging conversations about mental health will help improve the health of individuals. This is important as improved mental health is associated with a range of better outcomes for people of all ages and backgrounds including improved physical health and life expectancy, better educational achievement, increased skills, reduced health risk behaviours, reduced risk of mental health problems and suicide and higher levels of social interaction and participation.

I am raising money for The People's Place by completing 100 Burpees every hours for 24 hours, completing 2400 in total. Exercise has always helped me but in particular after the death of my Mum just over 12 months ago. I am doing this as I believe in the power of exercise for people's own mental wellbeing, in particular during the Covid-19 pandemic. I also support the work Everton in the Community do to promote positive mental health and allow people a platform to receive support.
