𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 is a National campaign organised by the Mental Health Foundation that happens every year in May. This year it's taking place between the 13th - 19th May and the theme is '𝙈𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩'.

Physical activity and exercise can have a positive impact on our mental health, in lots of different ways.

But for some of us, getting active can be a struggle – including those of us who live with mental health problems.

At Mind BLMK, we offer a range of mental health and wellbeing support to individuals across Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes. In 2023, we supported 7,155 individuals and provided 24,727 hours of support through our services, training & headquarters.

#WearitBlue Campaign

To keep our vital services running, we look for the kindness of individuals and corporates to fundraise. This also provides a great opportunity for you to learn more about mental health and wellbeing, and give something back.

Our #WearitBlue campaign is a great way to get involved and it's easy to organise. All you have to do it;

👖 Choose one day during Mental Health Awareness Week (13th - 19th May) to #WearitBlue, almost like a school mufti day!

🚶‍♂️ On this day, organise a fun activity for your team to boost wellbeing. This could be a wellbeing walk at lunchtime, everyone bringing in their favourite dish or having a 'get to know the team' session.

💰Encourage donations to Mind BLMK through this Just Giving page. You can share the link via email and social media. We also have posters available that you can print out and put up (if you'd like these posters please email fundraising@mind-blmk.org.uk)

📸 Take pictures and tag @MindBLMK on social media. This is a great opportunity to showcase your amazing fundraising and raising awareness of mental health, we'll be sure to reshare your pics.

🥳 Lastly, have some fun! It's a chance to have some fun within your team.

We have digital posters of all of our services available to download HERE. Please feel free to print them out or send them to your teams to let them know what Mind BLMK services are available in the local area.
