Supporting Healthy Minds

Since it was established in 2016, the University of Bristol’s Healthy Minds programme has supported more than 500 students to improve their mental wellbeing through physical activity.

Mental health challenges — whether brought on by bereavement, physical injury or simply the ordinary vicissitudes of life — can be an isolating experience. Healthy Minds helps students going through difficult times to get active, rebuild their confidence and find a sense of community.

The programme makes a real difference, and I’m proud to be supporting the University of Bristol Alumni Association in raising funds to help more students access this valuable support.

London Marathon 2027

I’m delighted to have secured a place in the London Marathon in April 2027, running in aid of Healthy Minds!

Physical activity can play a hugely important role in supporting mental wellbeing, and I’m proud to be taking on this challenge for a cause that helps students when they need it most. Every donation, however large or small, will help the programme reach more students and make a difference to their lives.

If you’re able to contribute, thank you. Your support will mean a great deal to me — and, more importantly, to the students who benefit from Healthy Minds.
