I took up running about 4 years ago mainly to improve my physical health however I found, very quickly, that it helped with my mental health too. The feeling of wellbeing after a good run is unsurpassed. The reason I chose to support Mind was to help raise much needed funds for Childrens Mental Health services. Over half of children that need mental health support do not get it, at a time when more and more children are becoming unhappier, more anxious and more depressed. 

HEH Mind promotes good mental health within the Havant Borough, East Hampshire District and across Hampshire. We seek to support and empower people to lead a full life as part of their local community.To achieve these aims we: - Promote mental wellbeing within our community- Engage and work with service users to promote recovery- Collaborate with partners to better support our communities- Challenge discrimination and stigma- Promote social inclusion
