Forsyth Barnes Climb Snowdon · 27 January 2024

Everyday in the UK, 18 people take their own life. That's 18 people who feel their only option is to no longer carry on. Suicide is the biggest killer of men aged under 45. Waiting lists with the NHS are up to 6 months, many don't have this long to wait so we provide funded counselling within 24 hrs

Story

The Forsyth Barnes team will be facing the elements for a daring climb to the summit of Mount Snowdon! Help us fundraise for our biggest challenge yet.

The When – January 27th 2024

The Who – The Forsyth Barnes team has partnered with the Hike with Mike Foundation to support its quest to assist people in getting the help needed. Everything fundraised goes directly to the foundation, ensuring that generous donations truly will make a difference in someone's life.

The Why – We are raising money for The Hike with Mike Foundation, a Nottingham-based charity that offers immediate support to help people struggling with mental health and suicidal thoughts at a time of crisis. The HWM Foundation provides direct support to people within 24 hours of them reaching out. They source and fund counselling sessions, completely removing the 20+ week waiting list the NHS offer, whereby a large number of people take their own life before getting the help they need.

To date, they have funded counselling sessions for over 100 individuals who were at risk of suicide, many of which would not still be here were it not for their intervention.
