We are wanting to raise vital funds in order to expand our services and offer a low-cost therapeutic service to even more children, young people and families to support them when experiencing mental health difficulties or challenges.
Our team will be walking, running, taking part in fundraising challenges & organising many other events to clock up as many miles as possible.
Our aim is for our team and Sunrise friends to do a minimum of 50 miles each over the space of 4 weeks in May to tie in with Mental Health Awareness Week.
374,0000 under 18 year olds are currently on the official waiting list for NHS Mental Health Support (the equivalent of 4x full Wembley Stadiums). This breaks our hearts and we want to do all that we can to support more of our community.
With an expanded low-cost therapy service we could support even more people, offer reduced waiting lists, help to develop coping strategies and offer a safe space to feel heard and to support people in getting back to school and work with more positive future outcomes.
These vital funds would enable us to also support parents/carers with their own anxieties, difficulties and self-care so they can put their own oxygen mask on first in order to support the young people in their care.
Please sponsor us or join in and share with your friends & family (pets also welcome!)
