I joined York Mind as Counselling Service Manager in August. I love the work, and York Mind makes a huge difference to people's mental health. So, I've signed-up for this year's MENTAL ELF!

I will be donning festive gear to take part in this fun, family-friendly event with a serious purpose: supporting mental health across York.

I'll be walking rather than running. Every step we take helps York Mind provide life-changing support to people struggling with their mental health. From counselling and peer support to wellbeing activities and advocacy, your donation helps us be there when it matters most.

Mental health doesn’t take a holiday, especially not at Christmas with the stresses the season can bring. But together, we can bring hope, connection, and care to those who need it—especially during the winter months, which can be tough for many.

Whether you're running, walking, or cheering us on, your support means everything. Please donate and help us spread festive cheer and mental health awareness across York. 💙

Let’s make this the most magical Mental Elf yet!
