This Black Friday I won't be joining in. Instead of reducing my prices, I'll be increasing my charitable donation. I currently donate £1 from every sale to MQ mental Health research. From the 17th - 27th, I'll donate £2.

Now I understand, my jewellery is not for everyone. And that's OK by me! Which is why I've created this page.

If you don't wish to buy anything sparkly but do wish to donate, please do so here.

On average, I get around 15 orders a month. I therefore donate £15. So you can see how this won't take much to massively increase my donation.

The festive period can be joyful, it can also be a fucking struggle. And that's not even considering any mental health conditions an individual may have.

So please, before you get sucked in to buying more things you do not need, ask yourself, could that money be spent better elsewhere? And in this case, could it be spent funding life changing mental health research?

Right now, one in four people are living with a mental health condition.

50% of lifetime mental health problems start before the age of 14.

1 in 6 children have a diagnosable mental health disorder. That’s 5 in every classroom.

The reasons for needing this vital research are endless.

Therefore, if you cannot donate at this time, please share the link instead.

Thanks,

Claire

A message from MQ

We’re MQ, the mental health research charity. We transform lives through research, helping to create a future where mental illnesses are understood, effectively treated and one day prevented.

Right now, one in four people in the UK are living with a mental health condition. Our scientists investigate a huge range of issues: depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, eating disorders and more. We’re bringing together everything from cutting-edge neuroscience to social studies to find the answers we need. Better is possible.
