Story
Our Mission:
Our mission is to provide free mental health therapy and wellbeing support for NHS staff that are battling coronavirus on the frontline through our network of qualified UK therapists.
Doctors and nurses are scared, overworked, stressed and need our support now more than ever. The task they face is daunting on every front, but it’s critical to their health, their patients' lives and our country that their wellbeing is looked after. We aim to do exactly that.
So far we have:
We have already helped many within the NHS seeking support through our test launch with outstanding feedback from clients and therapists alike. We have recruited a network of 100 volunteer therapists ready to help and a fully scalable platform to connect therapists & NHS staff ready to be launched
To assist with awareness, we have secured tier 1 press from top media that is 'ready to go' and created a user-friendly, mobile responsive campaign website that anyone can access.
We need funding to fully launch the platform so that we can help thousands of other doctors and nurses. This whole initiative was only started a few days ago (March 23rd) and is built from scratch, self-funded and 100% independent.

What will the money be used for?
To launch and maintain the service there are significant overheads, insurance premiums and platform fees. If we can hit £25,000 in donations, we can launch and grow the initiative to provide over £1,000,000 of therapy to NHS staff as well expand our service to those who are in desperate need of real support.
We already have over £100,000 of time pledged by fully qualified therapists and now just require your help so that we can go live… Please donate what you can so we can provide the support that is so badly needed. We are ready to launch ASAP!
About the initiative:
The task our NHS staff face is daunting on every front, but it’s critical to their health, their patients' lives and our country that their wellbeing is looked after.
This initiative aims to do exactly that - protecting and maintaining their mental health with the provision of high-quality therapy and wellbeing support from a qualified therapist.
Therapists are providing up to 6 hours of tailored high-quality therapy per person and all therapists are donating their time free of charge. This whole initiative was only started a few days ago (March 23rd) and is built from scratch, self-funded and 100% independent.
Donations:
We are pouring our days, nights, money, time and efforts into doing what we can to help. We have invested our own money, everyone is volunteering their time and we do not receive any payment for providing the initiative.
We are ready to go live and help thousands of NHS staff seeking support and need your donations to do so. Please consider donating what you can - it will make a world of difference.
Every penny counts and never have NHS staff needed our support more.
Best wishes,
Team Heather
