Dorset Mind is an outstanding charity, staffed by amazing people - most of whom are volunteers. The charity's work is all about mental health: education, challenging stigma and promoting recovery. They run support groups, befriending services, training in the workplace and an excellent programme in schools for children, young people, parents and teachers. 

Mental health concerns touch every part of our communities, briefly or lastingly: we all know families and friends who have been affected. I am therefore committed to supporting this excellent charity - and the brilliant people who give their time to help - in whatever ways I can.

This January I will take part in the Run Every Day (RED) challenge - in fact by following the NHS' "Couch to 5K" programme. It will do me some good and I particularly hope that you will feel sufficient sympathy / empathy / inspiration to donate kindly to support Dorset Mind's invaluable work. 

Thank you!
