Support me as I trek to the summit of Mount Snowdon to raise funds for Acacia on the 15 the July 2023!

I am raising vital funds to support Charity 'Acacia' which offers family Support and help to mums and families who are suffering from pre and post-natal depression and anxiety. Acacia offers one-to-one befriending, CBT sessions and practical help to families experiencing pre and post natal depression.

As a CBT therapist and nurse myself, I know first hand, how hard it is for families that I work with whom suffer from depression and the impact that depression has on their health physical and emotional well- being.

Depression is debilitating, tiring, exhausting and affects 1:4 people in the UK. Depression can affect high functioning adults and people that are unemployed and people that feel overwhelmed, stressed, burned out and low in mood and have severe anxieties about their life and functionality. Meaning that individuals process information in a difficult way, self sabotage and see the world around them in a difficult way at times.

I am also wishing to complete this trek as I have lived experience of depression and experienced this severely at different stages of my life. I know how if feels like to be in a very dark space, one in which you feel you can't get out of at times. Therefore, befriending, counselling and support is vital.

Therefore, this trek will be a personal milestone for me, as well as raising vital funds for ACACIA charity, so that they can carry on their fabulous work to support mums and dads that have experienced pre and post natal depression and offering support to the whole family.

Your money given could support practical help at home for these parents.

For example:

£25 pays for a family to receive some practical support at home

£50 pays for a mum or dad to receive some one-to-one befriending sessions

£100 pays for a mum to attend a group work courses.

£250 pays for one mum's entire journey with Acacia.

Therefore, I am trying to raise £500.00. Can you help?

My training has started!

This week some of the team and I are heading to our local Sutton Coldfield park, which has a hill known as 'Cardiac Hill' for a bit of training!

Please help us if you can.... all money raised goes to this brilliant charity Acacia.

"Lets do this"

Thank you in advance.
