Walking the world to transform mental health for Mentally Fit York

We are part of two teams for irpm Walking the world to transform mental health

We are taking on a virtual 12-week step challenge to raise funds for desperately needed mental health research and initiatives to transform mental health for everyone. 

we NEED YOUR HELP!

We have two teams IRPM at the University of York taking on The Great York Walk, a challenge walking event that will help to transform mental health by raising funds for Mentally Fit York at the University of York. Mental ill-health doesn't discriminate and right now, mental health has never been more important as the social implications of coronavirus begin to unravel. So together with loads of other people - some with a connection to York, some with no connection - we're going to be counting my daily steps for the next three months (10th May - 31st July) to contribute to a 25,000 mile walking goal. That's the equivalent of a walk around the Earth!

Please donate anything you can to help my target and improve mental health in York and beyond! :)

about mentally fit york

Our walk will be in aid of Mentally Fit York, which will promote good mental health on a local, national and international scale. Your support will be used to fund initiatives such as 24/7 mental health support for York students and research projects to further our understanding of mental health issues and the barriers to accessing support services.

Your support may also go towards providing suicide prevention training, Mental Health Nursing Scholarships or it could contribute to a range of other initiatives which are decided by an expert panel of mental health and wellbeing researchers, practitioners and advocates.
