Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Charitable funds in NHS Foundation Trusts do amazing work to enhance the experience of service users, carers and staff. Whether this is through developing small garden areas for patients and carers, or providing much needed staff hardship funds, the work of this charity at Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust is an important and not very visible resource that needs your support.

I am a Non-Exec Director at Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust and trustee of the charitable fund and I see every day how tough it is for those who have mental health conditions, their carers and the staff who look after them. This charity makes a difference and with your help, it can do so even more.

I am doing a 1 year fundraiser with the aim of raising £5,000 - I will be doing a few events throughout the year, kicking off now in the week of my birthday! In August, I will be walking 100,000 steps as the first challenge - I will keep you posted on my progress.
