The Mind Walk - In aid of Mind Monmouthshire

We're excited to announce that we are running the National Mind Walk here in Monmouthshire where you can support your local Mind Charity Mind Monmouthshire.

This July show your support for everyone affected by a mental health problem join the fight for mental health. Walk with us and fundraise to make sure no one has to face a mental health problem alone.

Sign up for the Mind Walk in aid of Mind Monmouthshire and ask your friends and family to join us or show their support by donating.

Mental health problems aren't always visible, and lack of understanding can make it harder to talk openly and ask for help. Everybody locally taking part in The Mind Walk in aid of Mind Monmouthshire is helping to raise awareness and building a community that supports mental health.

We're walking for all of us affected by mental health problems for friends, workmates, neighbours, for family for ourselves. Choose your route, and walk with us in July to fly the flag for mental health and help make sure no one has to face a mental health problem alone.

The Mind Walk in aid of Mind Monmouthshire is not a physical fitness challenge. It's about taking the fight for mental health out into the open, to raise awareness and funds so that we can keep fighting for support and respect for all of us with mental health problems.
