Story
Siemens Healthineers, MR Magnet Technology, Oxford have chosen Oxfordshire Mind as their Charity of the Year for 2024 & 2025.
On 13/OCT/24 the six of us are proud to be running the Oxford Half Marathon to raise money for such an excellent cause. For many of us, this will be our first attempt at a half marathon. We often go for runs together at lunchtime or after work and can vouch for the positive effects running can have on mental health.
1 in 4 people will experience a mental health problem in any one year. Oxfordshire Mind helps over 10,000 people with mental health challenges every year.
They promote good mental health through the provision of high quality services and campaigning for positive change.
Their services include housing, benefits advice, a confidential and free information line, short courses, children & young people support, volunteering opportunities, and they provide over 30 free, friendly, informal peer support groups across Oxfordshire.
