I'm sure that the majority of my friends and family are aware of my recent experiences of my own mental health problems over the past two years, which with the help and support of others I was able to improve and I now find myself in a very humbling position. I am working within an acute impatient mental health services unit at Langley Green Hospital, being in this role gives me the privilege of spending each day with our service users when they need us most, being in their corner to help support them on their recovery journey.

I have seen from my previous fundraising for Jade Ward the amazing things that can happen and through your help we can continue down this path and you can help me in trying to make a difference once again.

This money raised will go towards helping support our service users and improving the service that they receive, improving the hospital setting by brightening our ward and by being able to offer our service users different types of activities to participate in.

Each pound can really make the difference to my target of £350.00 however if you're unable to donate money but would still like to help, please think of other ways of supporting myself. Things such as donations that we can then auction are good ideas.

If anyone would like to ask me any questions about my job role, or help with my fundraising or raising awareness of mental health problems then please just message me and I will be happy to help or answer any questions.
