  5. Carry The Burden

Carry the Burden for Mind BLMK

Throughout May, we are asking our supporters to carry an item of their choosing for a full 24hours, to represent the invisible burden that people with mental health difficulties carry every single day.

How to take part:

  1. Choose an item to carry for a full day! Perhaps you have a giant teddy bear? An orange teapot? An exercise ball? Perhaps a tin of beans?! Maybe it’s something that means something to you about your mental health. Feel free to get creative with this.
  2. Start the day with posting a selfie with your object online, stating “I’m Carrying the Burden to support Mind Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes because…” (example: I’m Carrying the Burden to support Mind Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes because I want to support other people like me who struggle with depression #CarrytheBurden)
  3. Share your updates throughout the day, using the hashtag #CarrytheBurden
  4. Finish your day with your final update, making a donation to Mind Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes, and nominate 3 friends to take on the challenge during May.

How we’ll support you:

  • Carry the Burden logo for you to share on social or add to your fundraising page
  • Mind BLMK branded t-shirt, when you raise £50 or more
  • Share your fundraising page across our socials
