The Lucy Rayner Foundation are our chosen charity for 2024 & 2025. This page is to be used for all SCUK fundraising. Thank you very much for your donation!

On the 5th of May 2012, Jenny Rayner and her family were tragically faced with the impact of mental illness when their daughter Lucy took her own life at the age of 22.

This life-changing event inspired Jenny and her family to begin campaigning about the mental health challenges faced by many young adults. The family quickly found that the support and help available to recognise and treat young adults with mental health challenges was woefully inadequate and significantly underfunded.
