Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

As a family, we are raising funds for Mind in Haringey in memory of Jon Van Stroud – a deeply loved father, husband, brother and uncle who we all greatly miss.

Jon was an incredibly caring person who helped everyone around him. As a social worker, he devoted much of his time supporting those in need in Haringey and beyond. He also loved spending time with his family, growing produce on his allotment and going on runs in the local area. His kindness, warmth and culinary skills are remembered by everyone who visited the family home.

Sadly, Jon struggled with his mental health towards the end of his life, and he left us far too soon.

Mind in Haringey is a charity that provides support and advice all year round for anyone in Haringey who is having a mental health crisis. They have trained counsellors who provide a safe and confidential environment where people can talk about personal issues and receive help to make positive changes to their lives.

In memory of Jon, who loved running, some of us are running the Kingston Half Marathon in October 2025 to raise money for this amazing charity. Any support that you can give will be greatly appreciated by Jon’s family and friends.
