On 27th September 2025, Hannah C (CEO of TOP UK ) and Hannah T (Clinical Manager at TOP UK) will be embarking on a challenging, off road, 25km journey from Bristol to Bath as part of the "Trail Escape: Bristol to Bath 2025" marathon. They will be joined by a team of TOP UK runners and trekkers including staff, volunteers and trustees- all united by a common cause. This challenge is not just about getting through the distance, which with a severe lack of time to train, is going to challenge us both but also about resilience, grit and good humor if this wet and windy weather continues!

However, we know our challenge on the day is nothing in comparison to the daily struggles faced by individuals living with debilitating OCD, phobias, and anxiety. These conditions completely take over lives, leaving people feeling trapped, isolated, and misunderstood. Our service users inspire us every day with their courage as they navigate symptoms of disorders that are misrepresented, poorly understood and under supported often prevent them from working, maintaining relationships and sometimes even wanting to be alive.

But there is hope! With the right support, recovery is very possible — and that’s why we’re fundraising! If you’re able to contribute, your kindness will make a real difference as our struggling charity tries to navigate this challenging fundraising climate. Even the smallest gift can bring light into some very dark places. Thank you so much for your support!
