London Marathon 2023 · 23 April 2023 ·

Guideposts supports people who are isolated, excluded, and invisible to society, particularly those with complex mental health needs, learning disabilities, dementia, and their carers, to lead to live fulfilling, connected lives. Our mission is to ensure no-one is left behind.

Story

Last November I was accepted as an entrant in the 2023 London Marathon.  At that time I had never run that sort of distance or anything like it before. It all seemed and still seems pretty daunting to this sexagenarian.

Well, with only a few days to go I am putting my head above the parapet and seeking your support for what I am sure you will agree is a very worthwhile cause.  

I am Vice Chair of Guideposts Trust UK. Guideposts is a mental health and emotional wellbeing charity.  It supports people with complex emotional needs, learning disabilities and mental health issues, as well as people that may be lonely and feel isolated.  We also offer support to another special group of people. Carers. 

We aim to do this nationally through our maturing online services and locally in our regional centres. Our overall solvency currently relies on the generosity of the public. 

If you would like to support our work and give me an extra incentive when the going gets tough please sponsor me.

With many thanks.

Matthew
