At FreeAgent, we believe you need to take care of your mental health as you would your physical health. It is how each of us experience the world and, yet, in comparison to physical wellbeing, still so little in known about it and how to prevent ill mental health.
Often, mental and physical health go hand in hand - that's why we've challenged our team to a virtual relay race to raise awareness of mental health challenges and support, as well as raise funds for the wonderful mental health charity, Tiny Changes, in memory of our much-missed colleague Elliot Gracie.
Through the month of October, our team will be split into relay teams - passing on the virtual baton with a sweaty selfie upon completion of their phase. Whether they walk, roll, jog or run, each team member will complete whatever distance they choose to tackle; all while raising the awareness of mental health and hopefully bettering their own in the process.
Mental health is extremely important to us and we're proud to be fundraising for Tiny Changes. Please donate what you can and wish us luck!
