Great Manchester Run

Help support people across Greater Manchester affected by mental illness

Rethink Mental Illness does incredible work in providing support, information, and advocacy for people living with mental illness. I have a close family member whose life has been severely affected by schizphrenia and Rethink Mental Illness has helped me and my family in many ways.

With the support of Rethink Mental Illness I co-ordinate a local peer support group. People who attend have their own lived experience of ongoing mental health issues, or are carers/family members, and sometimes both. For many people it's the only place to talk openly and be supported by people who understand. Alongside regular weekly meetings, our group volunteers organise regular social events that provide much-needed time out. 

Any donation you can give will help support our group running costs and activites, with the remaining 50% going towards supporting Rethink Mental Illness in the North West. 

Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those affected by mental illness.

Thank you for your support - it means a lot!
