Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. 🤩

This is totally outside of my comfort zone. I am not a runner but wanted to challenge myself and participate in the LAMP 5k this year. I have been there from the start, since 2021 when the LAMP 5k campaign was launched, supporting and cheering the individuals who were taking part.

Leicestershire Action for Mental Health Project (LAMP) is a great charity that provides Independent Community Mental Health Advocacy to the people of Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.

They support people with mental health issues and their carers to have their views and wishes heard at critical appointments, such as with their GP, Mental Health Team or during physical health consultations.

Their team of advocates understand the challenges of the mental and physical health system and can challenge professionals on people’s behalf if they feel they are unable to do this alone. They aim to explore options and empower individuals to speak up and make sure that their voice is heard throughout their recovery journey.

Their Information and Advice Officers can support in finding the right service for people’s circumstances and make onward referrals on their behalf.

1 in 4 people will struggle with their mental health and this subject is very close to my heart. That is why I have been connected with LAMP since 2002 and have been on their Trust Board for 16 years!

If you could spare a few pennies to support my challenge, I would greatly appreciate it!
