Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page now you know I'm training to walk 100km in 2 days! I really appreciate it.

The health benefits of walking and being outdoors, in nature, are becoming increasingly important, for both physical and emotional health, across all ages. I've come to realise this personally over the last year, and now want to raise wider awareness by taking on this challenge for Off the Record. It is also ensuring I keep on walking!

By supporting Off the Record, you will help fund access to vital, confidential wellbeing support that gives children and young people a safe space to be heard. Every donation will help ensure more young people receive the right support at the right time, building resilience, confidence, and healthier futures

It’s so important to tackle mental health challenges early, before they follow young people into adulthood. Through my work in the NHS as a mental health pharmacist for 20 years, I've seen the long lasting impact that early trauma can have.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
