Thursday October 10th is World Mental Health Day!

To mark this day, and I hope to remind us all of how important prioritising our own mental health is and fighting to support others in theirs, I am going to take part in this Firewalk!

I have never done anything like this before, but I am prepared to walk over hot coals to raise money for this fantastic local charity and to raise the importance of wellbeing for us all.

Please then support me by donating now. Whatever that donation is, each pound given will make a difference. You are also welcome to come along on the day to cheer me and others on.

The charity's mission is to listen to our communities and offer compassionate and inclusive mental health services, resources and practical support to promote wellbeing for everyone. Mid and North East Essex Mind are a local mental health charity affiliated to the national charity Mind. We are financially independent and rely on donations and fundraising to continue our services. Our purpose is to offer hope and support for good mental health, so that no one feels alone.
