Every year 1LET chose a nominated charity to support and raise money for. This year 1LET has teamed up with Health in Mind. Health in Mind is a Scottish charity who aim to promote positive mental health and wellbeing.
As a charity, their mission is:
“To provide mental health and wellbeing services in a caring and compassionate way, supporting people to develop coping strategies and skills to live the lives they want to live”.
To raise money for Health in Mind we are holding a coffee morning and cake sale. There our lovely staff will bake cakes to raise money for the Edinburgh based charity! The coffee morning will be held on the 10th of October from 9:30am – 12pm at the 1LET office, 20A Manor Place. The 10th of October is also World Mental Health Day. World Mental Health day is a fantastic opportunity to raise awareness, discuss, and promote positive mental health for everyone. Each year World Mental Health Day has a theme. This year focuses on suicide and suicide prevention.
It has been reported that each year, 1 in 4 people will experience some type of mental health issue. Health in Mind aims to tackle this and promote positive mental wellbeing. They offer many services from counselling to programmes which encourage a proactive approach to recovery and wellbeing.
As a charity Health in Mind relies on volunteering and donations. This year 1LET hope to raise £1000 for the local charity through our bake sales and donations. 1LET have set up a just giving page for those who would like to donate money to Health in Mind, visit the page here.
