Team fundraising for Bradford District Care NHS FT Charitable Fund (Better Lives)

Raising money for Bradford District Care NHS FT Charitable Fund (Better Lives)

We are raising money for a 5-day sailing trip with 5 staff and 10 service users. Sailing and crewing a tall ship from Hartlepool to Ipswich: Saturday 13th September – Thursday 18th September 2025. We aim to raise £9000 to fund all costs of the trip

Story

Darcy and I have been training to become Mental Health Social Workers since July 2023, with the Think Ahead programme, and we are qualifying in July (yikes that has gone fast!).

In August we were placed with the Early Intervention in Psychosis Team, which has been incredible and such a privilege to be a part of so many recovery journeys.

In 2023 the EIP team took service users on a "Voyage to Recovery" which was a huge success, accelerating the recovery process and giving the sailors more self confidence and resilience. This was so incredible for all involved, the team are determined to do it again in 2025....which is where we come in!

We would love to be a part of this inspirational adventure recovery journey and raise as much money as possible to support such a worthy cause. Running is not really our thing which is why this is such a challenge BUT we are ready to brush off our trainers and get running to raise as much as we can for this incredible cause. Please support if you can and we will keep you updated on our running (or staggering) and the sailing trip.

Thank you so much :-)
