1 in 10 children have a diagnosable mental health disorder – that’s roughly 3 children in every classroom.

1 in 5 young adults have a diagnosable mental health disorder.

Almost 1 in 4 children and young people show some evidence of mental ill health, including anxiety and depression.

Suicide is the most common cause of death for boys aged between 5-19 years, and the second most common for girls of this age.

Close to 800,000 people die due to suicide every year, which is one person every 40 seconds.

During 2018, I’ll be doing a park run close to each of the main 18 Atos offices in England, joined (I hope!) by some of my Atos colleagues.We’ll be raising money for the Charlie Waller Memorial Trust, which educates young people in schools and universities and adults in the workplace on the importance of staying mentally well and how to do so.

Atos have agreed to match what we raise, up to £2,235, which will cover the cost of printing 20,000 Well Being Action Plan Booklets.

Please donate to help us reach our target and maximise the amount we can get through match-funding :-)
