Defy the Odds - Mt Toubkal climb · 14 October 2020

Mental Health UK works in schools, homes and workplaces to build a thriving UK where good mental health is prioritised. We challenge the systems and situations that hold people back, and equip them with tools and advice to unlock their full potential.

Story

In May 2021, along with 29 colleagues, I will be trekking 108km across the West Highland Way in Scotland in aid of Mental Health UK’s new youth programme, Bloom.

Bloom was set up in September 2019 thanks to fundraising efforts by colleagues at Lloyds Banking Group. The UK-wide programme helps support young people’s mental health resilience and is delivered in schools and colleges. Bloom helps to equip young people with the tools and knowledge to maintain their mental health through life’s transitions, both now and in the future.

We’ll be trekking 108km over 4 days along parts of the West Highland Way from Loch Lomond, finishing up at Ben Nevis, and will be a massive challenge, both physically and mentally.

To help reach our team target of £120,000 I will be organising and participating in a number of fundraising events both in and out of work. Every penny helps for this amazing cause, and we are all very grateful!! 

Thank you!
