Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page! My names Scott and I’m a student at the University of St Andrews and in August 2019 myself and other students from St Andrews will be trekking across the Peruvian Andes to Machu Picchu.

Our goal is to support and raise awareness for the work of Mind the mental health charity. With as many as 1 in 4 experiencing a mental health problem each year it is clear that mental health is a seriously underlooked problem within our society and unlike physical illness it is often very difficult to tell when someone needs your help. In this way charities like Mind are vital to helping support and respect anyone who finds or might later find that they are in that situation. 

Mind is uniquely trying to change perceptions about mental health problems by working with journalists and programme makers to  provide a more accurate description of mental health and to steer away from the often negative portrayal seen in everyday media.

Any donation would be greatly appreciated, even if you could give £5 that would mean a lot. You might not think it but it will go a long way and towards a worthy cause.
