Story

In June, myself and Anya will be taking part in the UK Three Peaks Challenge to fundraise for causes close to our hearts. We will be hiking the three highest mountains in England, Scotland and Wales within 24hrs (hopefully!). 

Shout are an incredible charity that supports people who struggling with their mental health over text. Shout is ran mostly by volunteers like myself who dedicate their spare time to have conversations with those in crisis.  Working as a mental health support worker within the NHS I know first hand how scary but crucial those first steps to reaching out can be. Shout have been there for myself and millions of others who have reached out for support and I hope we can fundraise some money so they can continue their amazing work. 

Anya will be fundraising for another important charity, Refuge, who provide specialist support to women and children experiencing domestic violence. Together, our goal is to raise money & awareness for 2 remarkable charities that mean a lot to us. Thank you.

Shout is the UK's only 24/7 text service for anyone struggling to cope with their mental health. We respond to 1,500-2,000 requests for support every day and have taken over 1.5 million conversations with people who are anxious, depressed or suicidal. Every £10 Shout receives can pay for a conversation with someone in crisis, and could save a life.£25 can help us reach disadvantaged communities that most need mental health support.£50 means that five children, young people and adults could receive potentially life-saving help.
