Alex's fundraiser for Keep Talking Services

Alex McBarnet is raising money for Keep Talking Services

Lloyd's Abseil 2025 · 9 July 2025 to 10 July 2025 · Start fundraising for this event

Keep Talking Services is a telephone befriending service aimed at reducing loneliness in our local community with a passion for reducing stigma within the area of mental health. Our aim is simple, to offer light to individuals often surrounded by darkness. How do we do this? We KEEP TALKING!

Story

On 10th July 2025, I’ll be taking on the challenge of abseiling down the iconic 95-metre Lloyd’s of London building to raise money for an incredibly important charity – Keep Talking Services.

This incredible organisation tackles loneliness and mental health isolation across all adult age groups – not just the elderly. Powered by passionate health and social care students, Keep Talking Services connects with people through meaningful conversations, offering regular calls that genuinely make a difference. With over 1,000 calls made every month, they prove that talking isn’t just therapeutic – it’s transformative.

Their motto? Treat the person, not just the illness – and always, Keep Talking.

Thank you so much to everyone who has donated so far, every donation will help fund these life-changing conversations.

Whether you can give a little or a lot, your support is everything – and might calm my nerves when I’m hanging off the side of a 14-storey building.

Please donate if you can – and help us keep the conversation going.
