Not everyone who suffers with mental health issues seeks help. This is because they believe it's a taboo subject-this just isn't true.
Mental health is just as serious as physical health and we encourage people to seek help, just as they would for a physical ailment.
We aim to provide a service for those who may not have someone to talk to or feel more comfortable speaking to a person not known to them. We can offer signposting to relevant services that can help with individual needs and equally as important, a friendly face and chat. We want people to know that they are not alone and that they have someone they can speak to in confidence.
No one should have to fight their mental health alone.
Speak to someone on our team today by contacting us online.
We hope that if everyone spares just 10 minutes to check up on a family member, a friend or a colleague, then potentially this will enable problems with mental health to be identified quickly and individuals encouraged to seek help.
We would encourage everyone to keep this in mind and #spare10forben
Mental health has no face, it can affect anyone.
Please see our latest fundraising story below:
Ben's Memorial 26th January 2023 at The Tan Hill Inn. Friends, family and C Squadron - Light Dragoons attended Ben's 3rd Memorial in honour of Ben and his lasting legacy of helping others.
Ben had stayed at The Tan Hill Inn when completing the Coast to Coast with his regiment. He loved the outdoors and sporting challenges. He face-timed me from here one evening and raved about the food, the ales and the location.
I contacted Nicola, the Manager of The Tan Hill Inn, regarding the possibility of having a Ben Chair sited in there. Nicola very kindly liaised with the owner and fortunately he was onboard with the idea.
The location itself is simply stunning and a place where many people visit to have the opportunity for reflection. Having a Ben Chair sited here will be an amazing achievement and I'm sure that it will help many who are struggling by encouraging them to reach out.
Below is our fundraising link, if you could please spare anything to enable this to happen, it would be sincerely appreciated.
Many thanks,
Claire
