Why Walk for Mind in May?

Right now, many people in Somerset are struggling with their mental health. Our services — from crisis support and counselling to peer groups and community outreach — are a lifeline for thousands of local people.

By joining Walk for Mind in May, you’re helping us continue this essential work.

Your steps will help someone else take theirs.

🐕 How the Challenge Works

It’s simple to get involved:

Sign up for £10 and receive a Mind in Somerset dog bandana and digital welcome pack

Set your walking goal — whether it’s 50 miles, daily walks, or a distance of your choice

Fundraise throughout May to support local mental health services

Walk solo, with friends, with family, or with your dog

Many of our participants will be walking with their four‑legged friends and taking part in our fun competitions, including Cutest Pup, Waggiest Tail, and Most Money Raised.

🌟 Your Impact

Every donation makes a meaningful difference. Your fundraising could help us:

£10 – answer a call from someone in crisis

£25 – support someone through a peer support session

£50 – Help fund our Community day

£100 – provide ongoing support for someone in need

All funds raised stay right here in Somerset, supporting local people and local services.
