Kate Currie is raising money for Alder Hey Children's Charity
Story
According to a recent report, the impact of the coronavirus pandemic could have ‘potentially catastrophic life-long consequences’ for kids. As a mum and aunty, I want to do something to help.
Along with some lovely friends, I’ll be doing the Yorkshire 3 Peaks challenge... 40km and an ascent of over 5000ft squeezed into less than 12hrs! There will be some tough moments I’m sure, but knowing I’m doing it to help kids and adolescents who are struggling will help me drag myself up the peaks.
Alder Hey Children’s Charity’s ‘7 in 10 Children’s Mental Health Appeal’ is aiming to raise vital funds to enhance inpatient and Community mental health services, enabling more children to access the treatment they need at the time they need it.
7 out of 10 children and young people who experience a mental health condition in the UK have not had appropriate interventions at a sufficiently early age
Patients and their families will be able to receive rapid and early access to co-ordinated multi-disciplinary care, benefitting from the most up to date assessment and diagnosis facilities. The Hub will also enable Alder Hey’s community services to link more closely with its specialist hospital services, enhancing care for children with long term conditions such as neurology, cardiology and infectious diseases.
The ‘7in10 Children’s Mental Health Appeal’ is aiming to raise £3m to ensure that the building itself is designed to the highest standards, creating the best possible child friendly environment for our young patients.
