Mental Health Awareness Week Fundraiser – 11th May to 17th May 2026
Mental health affects every single one of us in some way — whether it’s through our own struggles or watching someone we care about battle silently. Too many people still suffer in silence because of stigma, lack of support, or not knowing where to turn when they need help the most.
That’s why this Mental Health Awareness Week (11th–17th May 2026), I’m raising money for Stepping Stones — a charity doing incredible work to support people who are struggling with their mental health and providing vital resources to those who need them most.
Mental health matters because behind every statistic is a real person — someone fighting anxiety, depression, trauma, loneliness, grief, or battles no one else can see. Support services can be life-changing, but they need funding to continue helping people and to reach others who may be struggling right now.
The more money we raise, the more resources can be funded — from support groups and counselling services to safe spaces and practical help for people who need it most. No one should ever feel like they have to face their darkest days alone.
Now… to make this fundraiser slightly more painful for me (and hopefully more entertaining for you):
💰 £50 raised – I’ll get ONE leg waxed
💰 £100 raised – I’ll get BOTH legs waxed
💰 £200 raised – I’ll get both legs waxed AND my back waxed
💰 £500 target reached – I’ll get both legs waxed, my back waxed AND my chest waxed
Yes… I may regret this deeply. My body hair definitely will.
But if a bit of temporary pain and public humiliation helps raise awareness and funds for such an important cause, then it’s absolutely worth it.
Every donation, no matter how small, can help make a real difference in someone’s life.
Thank you so much for your support — and please share this if you can. Let’s raise awareness, raise funds, and remind people that it’s okay to ask for help. ❤️
