Anna and Gaz's fundraiser for THE LITTLE PUSH 4 GOOD

Anna Pickup is raising money for THE LITTLE PUSH 4 GOOD

Little Push / Parker Young 3 Peaks Walk · 17 May 2025 ·

Our vision is for a more active world for better mental health. Decades of science prove that having an activity focus (physical activity, music, art, learning) can both promote mental wellbeing and help people to recover from mental illness. We help people currently struggling with their mental health and supported by NHS teams. Our aim is to help them unlock an activity focus which can be an important part of their recovery alongside the medical and psychological support they are receiving. It is highly likely that as you read this that you, a loved one or a friend is struggling with their mental health. Over 8m people are taking prescription medications for a mental health issue and 1.8m people are being supported by NHS Mental Health teams. This crisis is impacting on millions of families and we aim to change the script by putting activity at the heart of both promoting mental wellbeing and recovering from mental illness. Please donate to help us support thousands of people struggling with their mental health and help create a world where activity is seen as important to mental health as it is to physical health.

Story

On Saturday 17th May, Gaz and I are taking part in the Yorkshire 3 peaks challenge, with a great bunch of folk from our professional network.

26 miles... that's a long way for my little legs! It's also forecast to be HOT, which will make it even more of a challenge. But one we want to take on for a very wonderful charity and the timing is particularly poignant with it being mental health awareness week.

The little push 4 good is a relatively new charity that provides grants to people being supported by mental health professionals, to enable them to take part in activities that will provide them with a focus and a way of taking positive steps to manage their mental wellbeing.

Whether it's a sport, music, art, photography or other learning activity, all are proven to help prevent and also recover from mental ill health.

Gaz and I both use physical exercise and sport to support our mental health and we want to give other people who are struggling the option to do this.

Every donation, whether large or small is much appreciated and will support someone in need.

Anna and Gaz xx
