On 24th November, I will be running the Hertfordshire half Marathon and raising money for the non-profit organisation Applause for Thought. Applause for thought offer free and low-cost mental health support, talks and workshops for those in the arts industry.

The initiative was set up by my dear friend Raffaella Covino, with the aim of continuing to raise awareness of mental health in the arts, through sessions and talks in which anyone in the industry can learn about mental health issues and have access to qualified therapists.

Raffaella recently won three awards at the Industry Minds awards for all the brilliant work she is doing for mental heath in the arts.

With your support, Applause for Thought will be able to continue to run these events. Have therapists come to talk and offer their service, and keep the conversation on mental health open to all.
