We challenge unhelpful stereotypes, combat stigma around mental health and ultimately prevent suicide. We are a youth led organisation, enabling young people, particularly boys and young men, to talk about their emotions and express their vulnerability in a safe and healthy manner.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Tragically, in June of 2024, our close friend Benedict took his own life. As a group, we want to raise some money in his memory for the Boys in mind charity.

Bell boating may seem as a bit of a niche past time, yet it was something we did as a group at least once a year. It is an activity which we associate so closely with our dear friend Benedict, who over the years provided us with so many great memories during these trips. As a result we decided it would only be fitting to complete a trip fundraising in his memory.

On the weekend of 24th May, our plan is to set off in two bell boats from Fladbury paddle club to Eckington bridge. This is approximately 20km and will take us around 8 hours to complete. (With the exception of George Bell, we aren't the most athletic bunch.)

Thanks to Andy Train for the use of his Bell boats
