As a Trustee of Birmingham Mind, I am once again taking part in their Mental Elf Festive Fun Run - despite all the photos from last time! It's on Sunday 30th November at Cannon Hill Park.

This is a great event which focuses on bringing people together, not only to fundraise, but to raise awareness for mental health and wellbeing. It promotes the benefits of physical activity, connecting with people and doing something to help others.

We all know the festive season can be an extra difficult time for some people. Throughout December 2024, Birmingham Mind's helpline team handled 1,326 call, including 41 on Christmas Day.

All funds raised during Mental Elf stay here in Birmingham to help support the vital services to support people with their mental health. Services such as our Central Wellbeing Hub at The Bullring & Grand Central.

Together we can ensure no one has to face their mental health struggles alone.
