This year we at ACL collectively chose Mind as our 2021 charity partner.

Mind's purpose is 'to not give up until everyone experiencing a mental health problem gets support and respect' this is something all of us at ACL stand by, our aim this year is to raise £5,000 to support Mind in this mission. 

During the last year looking after our mental health has been tougher than ever with so many hurdles posed by the Coronavirus Pandemic. According to mentalhealth.org in early April of 2020 1in 4 adults were left feeling lonely, the highest being among those aged 18-24 years old an increase of 44% from 16% prior to lockdown.

Any donations made will make a huge difference to Mind's cause in aiding them to provide their vital services such as providing advice and support to empower anyone experiencing a mental health problem, campaigning to improve mental health services, raising awareness, and ensuring anyone experiencing a mental health problem gets the support and respect they deserve.

Our main 2021 fundraising activity will be Tough Mudder (if the powers that be allow us to do so this year) due to take place in mid-July. Alongside this, we will be hosting a range of other fundraising activities from bring your dog to work days to taking part in Mind's Thames Bridge Trek around London!

Any and all donations no matter how big or small are greatly appreciated and will make a world of difference in supporting Mind in their cause.
