For 1 in 4 of us, every day is a fight — this is something we cannot ignore.

Your donation will directly help to give much-needed support and respect to those in our local communities who are experiencing mental health problems. The funds raised will play an important role in helping to keep our wellbeing services running such as the Peer Recovery Support Group Adam attends:

Adam* is a young man who struggles with anxiety and very low self-esteem, this got worse after the breakdown of his relationship. Adam would never leave his house except for work, which he felt was becoming increasingly difficult in his retail role. Adam then discovered a ‘lifeline’ by attending Cornwall Mind's Peer Recovery Support Group. He was able to talk to others with lived experience about problems and coping mechanisms for everyday life, people who understood his struggles and shared similar experiences.

With an increase in confidence, Adam has now been able to talk to his work management team and found that they’re incredibly supportive. He can also talk to his colleagues if he feels his anxiety starts to increase. He’s also reconnected with his loved ones, communicating much better with his family, who he now lives with.

Reflecting on his journey, Adam said he doesn’t know what would have happened if he hadn’t found the Peer Recovery Support Group and for this he is overcome with gratitude.

Please support our incredible fundraisers who have signed up to raise awareness and funds by challenging themselves to a 24-Hour Relay for Cornwall Mind.

Your donation will help in sustaining our life-changing work, and for that we cannot thank you enough.
