Tandem Skydive for World Mental Health Day - 10 October 2020
Our daredevil supporters took to the skies to raise money for Norfolk and Waveney Mind in a tandem skydive on World Mental Health Day!
The intrepid fundraisers leaped from 13,000 feet and raised a fantastic £3,566 for our mental health services in Norfolk and Waveney.
Thank you to everyone who supported this event, whether by taking the leap or cheering safely from the ground!
Stride - 10 to 13 September 2020
Our Stride walking challenge saw supporters signing up to walk, jog or cycle from a mile up to over 10 miles - outdoors or inside, alone or in a safe and socially distanced group!
The challenge launched on Global Suicide Prevention Day, 10 September, and raised over £3,700 for our suicide prevention and bereavement services supporting people affected by suicide in Norfolk and Waveney.
Thank you to everyone who took part, and if you would like to donate there's still time - visit www.justgiving.com/campaign/Stride2020
Mental Health Awareness Week - 18 to 24 May 2020
We marked Mental Health Awareness Week in a special and somewhat different way this year. As this year's theme is kindness, we thought it would be brilliant to celebrate all that is kind, and the positive effects this can have on our mental health.
What better way than to celebrate with a VIRTUAL FESTIVAL taking over our social media? - particularly as lots of us are missing out on festivals this year!
We promoted the kindness message using a variety of festival-favoured content - think music, art, a family area, wellbeing and SOS 'tents' - all encouraging people to connect, keeping kindness in mind.
If you missed the Festival of Kindness, DON'T WORRY - you can still visit our dedicated webpage that's FULL of the entire week's content! Just click here!
