We’re proud to be supporting Mind this May, raising awareness of mental health and the importance of looking after ourselves and each other.

At Kinect Services, our teams work closely with people every day, and we understand how important mental wellbeing is — both for the people we support and for our colleagues. This month is about coming together, starting conversations, and supporting a cause that matters to so many.

Throughout May, we’ll be taking part in a range of activities:

• 1st–31st May – Big Team Walking Challenge

Our teams are taking on a month-long walking challenge, covering the distance from Malaga to Barcelona. It’s a team effort, with a bit of friendly competition along the way, as we aim to complete the distance as quickly as possible. Every step counts, and it’s a great way to keep moving while supporting a meaningful cause.

• 2nd May – Abseil the Tower

We’re kicking things off with a challenge event, where members of our team will be abseiling to raise funds and awareness.

• Eurovision Sweepstake

Our Head Office team will be taking part in a Eurovision sweepstake. If one of the countries assigned to Kinect wins, we’ve pledged an additional £100 donation to the fundraiser.

• 14th May – Wear It Green Day

As part of Mental Health Awareness Week, our teams will be wearing green to show support, spark conversations, and stand in solidarity with those affected by mental health challenges.

• 23rd May – Community Fair (Laindon)

We’ll also be out in the community, attending a local fair to connect with people, share information, and continue raising awareness and support for Mind.

Every donation, no matter the size, helps Mind continue providing essential support, advice, and resources to those who need it.

Thank you for supporting us — it really does make a difference.
