Please join me in supporting Mind BLMK (Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes) this Christmas! On the 30th November, I will be taking part in Mental Elf, a 5K Festive Run to raise vital awareness and funds for Mind BLMK.

Mind BLMK works across our communities to support positive mental health and wellbeing. Working closely with a range of partners, they offer a range of services to make a difference to the mental health and wellbeing of people in Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes, their aim is to make sure that those in the community have the best Mental Health.

1 in 4 people will experience a mental health issue each year, with 1 in 6 people report experiencing a common mental health problem (such as anxiety and depression) in any given week. Mental health is something we all have and Mind BLMK aim to ensure that everyone can get support when they need it.
