Thanks
to you…
A marathon effort
The Heads Together campaign
was the official charity partner of
this April’s Virgin Money London
Marathon, putting mental health
very publicly in the spotlight.
Led by the Duke and Duchess of
Cambridge and Prince Harry, the
campaign launched last May and
has already raised £8.5m to help
encourage more conversations
about mental wellbeing. Mind is
one of eight charity partners that
have been involved in delivering
the campaign.
A huge thank you if you were one
of the 1,000 people running the
London Marathon directly for Mind.
It’s amazing to know that every step
taken by every runner in the ‘mental
health marathon’ will help us be
there for everyone who needs it.
To watch the Duke,
Duchess and Prince
discussing this inspiring
campaign, search ‘Heads
Together’ on YouTube.
we’ve been there
for more people
than ever over
the past year.
