On the 5th of May 2012, Jenny Rayner and her family were tragically faced with the impact of mental illness when their daughter Lucy took her own life at the age of 22.

This life-changing event inspired Jenny and her family to begin campaigning about the mental health challenges faced by many young adults. the family quickly found that the support and help available to recognise and treat young adults with mental health challenges was woefully inadequate and significantly underfunded.

Jenny also discovered that her passion and tenacity to address these issues was shared by many others. Using her strong business acumen, entrepreneurial skills, and over 30 years of experience in marketing, media and event management, Jenny found herself perfectly positioned to make an impact in raising awareness of this critical problem.

The Lucy Rayner Foundation is a mental health charity based in Surrey, that offers our services, such as:

* Weekly Support Groups

* Suicide Bereavement Service

* Mental Health Training

* Monthly Coffee Morning

We offer 6 free counselling sessions to all young adults aged between 14 and 39 and provide a number of support services to those suffering with their mental health. Every £25 will supply one free counselling session to a young adult who is in desperate need if support. To put into perspective how crucial fundraising events like these are to us, take a look at our figures from earlier this year.

Your donations will allow us to continue offering this vital support.
