Michael's fundraiser for 4Kelly (The Kelly Foundation)

Michael Lloyd is raising money for 4Kelly (The Kelly Foundation)

1/2 Marathon · 28 September 2025

The Kelly Foundation offers practical support for adults in the Swindon area who are experiencing mental health issues. We are a growing charity and we offer well-being support, general advocacy, counselling, life coaching and signposting. We aim to be the first port of call for those struggling with their mental health or needing assistance with getting assessed. We will listen and observe to gain a good understanding of each individual's mental health issues in order to provide a bespoke support programme. We aim to offer you a 'one-stop support package', which is not time-limited. In working with us you will not be forced to go to multiple agencies for different services, see different individuals when accessing services or wait on a lengthy waiting list for appointments. You will be able to access a dedicated support worker, a life coach, counsellor and volunteer support. You will see the same team, who will regularly deliver support as frequently as is required. Each service user will have a bespoke package.

Story

Mental Health what’s that!!

Mental health issues are not a thing of the past it’s something that’s always been there but has become something that effects so many people including myself. It leaves you feeling like there is nowhere to look for support or help.

A very special person I recently lost to cancer needed help long before The Kelly Foundation was founded. If only they were there all those years ago thing could have been different for them. Quite a few years ago they tried to take their own life battling depression but there was very little help, the hospital sent them home within a couple of days with family who were completely distraught and left feeling alone with little support only to be told to wait 6 weeks to receive some sort of medication that they would remain on for the rest of their life.

The Kelly Foundation provides so much care, compassion and support to those in need. I am raising money to help this great charity and cause continue their amazing work.
