Thanks for taking the time to visit this JustGiving page.

My colleagues and I at the Mental Health Department for TV Edwards LLP are running for Step-Forward. 

Every year TV Edwards LLP (http://www.tvedwards.com/) gives each of its departments the opportunity to put forward a charity to support. This year, everyone at our firm voted in favour of supporting the Mental Health teams chosen charity, Step-Forward. 

Mental Health gains increasing media attention every year. This is not surprising as the number of people diagnosed with mental health issues also increases year by year. As mental health lawyers, we see the struggle on a day by day basis for those going through a mental health crisis, not least the youngest and most vulnerable of society. Mental Health Services are stretched, poorly funded and under incredible pressure to provide what support they can to those in need. Charities such as Step-Froward do amazing things to help fill the gaps where possible. 

Step-Forward does more then just supporting young people with mental health issues with an array of fantastic services. They "support local young people who are facing disadvantage and enable them to thrive, develop, grow and reach their full potential".

We are so pleased that TV Edwards LLP gives us the opportunity to support a charity each year. We feel blessed to have the privilege of supporting Step-Forward, our chosen charity. TV Edwards LLP will of course be donating towards whatever we organise but please take the time to read up on Step-Forward and to donate a little towards the cause as well. 

The first run will be a 5 km one at the Lee Valley Velo Park on the 25/01/2020. We have also booked ourselves onto a 10 km run in Victoria Park on the 23/02/2020. This is all building up to a half marathon in March which we will run together as a relay team (01/03/2020 - Vitality Half Marathon). None of us are avid runners but we have chosen to run anyway to raise what money we can for Step-Forward. 

Please donate in aid of this amazing charity. Any amount would be most welcome.
