Whether you already do this and more, or you need a little nudge to get there – challenge yourself and raise money for Mental Health UK.

  1. Choose your activity. Running, walking, cycling, weightlifting, swimming, squats, stairs
  2. Set the target. 5k run every other day, 50 squats every day, 100 deadlifts every day, a marathon over a month, Lands End to John O’Groats over a month.
  3. Register!

  3. We’d love to celebrate your event with you so be sure to send us photos of your activity.

By raising £100 you’re helping 50 teachers on our Bloom programme receive training to support their students with mental health resilience

“Bloom ticked the box of engaging the kids to look at their own mental health. One of the big things for me with Bloom is that it takes away this part of ‘Who is going to help me? I am feeling this way, who is going to help me?’ to ‘What can I do?’. I think that was a really important aspect.” School staff delivering Bloom

As a token of our appreciation, raise anything over £100 and we’ll send you a Mental Health UK medal!

The positive impact the group has had on me is huge. I don’t feel so isolated any more. If the support had not been available I would still be facing depression and loneliness, unable to look after myself and over-thinking things.

Raise money and have fun!

Read what some of our fundraisers have to say.

"I enjoyed seeing my fundraising increase on a weekly basis, the events that I organised pushed me out of my comfort zone, I talked to people about Mental Health in a way that I would never have done otherwise."

Louise Greenwood,
Lloyds Banking Group

"I was totally elated when I crossed the line and so glad I’d given it a go!"

Helen Taylor

"Mental Health UK was a friendly partner to have. I received lots of motivational encouragement via email which maybe doesn’t sound like much but knowing people are rooting for you really helps"
