Story

Jeanette Toombs has always gone the extra mile in her role as Wellbeing Coordinator here at Rochdale and District Mind and she is proving that now is no different. Shes continuing to deliver the much-valued support to our service users while she works from home during the lockdown.

While carrying out her role, she has heard first-hand how the Coronavirus pandemic is impacting on the mental health of the communities of Rochdale, Middleton and Heywood and felt that she wanted to do something to help. Then she had an idea she could shave her head to raise funds for Rochdale and District Mind!

My hairs growing and its getting too long, I cant visit my hairdresser so I came up with the idea of shaving my head to raise money for Rochdale Mind! Ive worked here for 20 years and its truly a fantastic place, its a very difficult time for everyone and I wanted to do my bit to help us be there for people who need our support.

Jeanette continues,

While we have been reaching out to our service users during the lockdown we have heard clients struggling with the impact on their mental health. Their anxiety levels have increased significantly due to the enforced isolation and they are missing the safe space and peer support that we provide at Rochdale Mind.

Jeanettes husband, Gary, who volunteers here at Rochdale and District Mind will be doing the honours with the clippers set to number 2 and will be filming it to share with everyone to watch on Thursday 30th April 2020.

Please show your support by sponsoring Jeanette, all donations are gratefully received and make such a big difference to Rochdale and District Mind - Thank you
