It's really important that we try to stay connected to one another during these challenging times, this could be via email or a phone call / video call to check in with each other. It's also important to check in with yourself, to see how you're feeling and what's been happening for you that day.

Beth Timms, our Crisis Café Manager spoke about the necessity of connectivity and the positive benefits it can have on our mental health in a recent discussion about connectivity, Beth mentions that, "Even as adults we need connection to thrive, be well and be healthy."

If you or someone you know is struggling with their mental health and are looking for a place to start, then our self referral forms online will help you get the ongoing support you need and ensure that you don't have to face this alone.

Without the support of our fantastic fundraisers, we wouldn't be the charity we are today and it is with your support that we can continue to provide our key services across Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes.

Today we are celebrating one of our fantastic fundraisers, who is a long-standing supporter of the charity and our work, having volunteered for Mind BLMK for over 10 years.

David participated in his own 'Dress up for December' challenge, in which he spent the whole month dressed in his finest attire to mix things up a little, whilst working from home. David also shared his comedic talent with supporters, to bring a smile to their faces and help brighten up their day. If this wasn't incredible enough as it is, David also undertook a fantastic 13.1 miles around Wardown park in Luton, his first half marathon in 9 years and has raised over an amazing £1,000 through his JustGiving page and through matched funding.

We want to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to David and all of our incredible supporters, who have gone above and beyond to raise both awareness and funds for Mind BLMK, we are entirely grateful.

If you're interested in supporting our work and fundraising for Mind BLMK, then please take a look at the fundraising section of our website - www.mind-blmk.org.uk/support-us/fundraising/ or email: [email protected]
