Walk with Mates Fundraiser for Mates in Mind Charity!

To kick off our fundraising for our new corporate charity partnership with Mates in Mind, Our Contracts Administrator Louise organised a fundraising mental health walk on the morning of Saturday 12th October in Cannon Hill Park in Birmingham.

Through her own experience with mental health struggles, Louise felt inspired to organise this event not only to raise money for this wonderful charity but to use it as an opportunity to create a safe space for people to openly talk about their own mental health and to minimise the stigma which is still unfortunately attached to the this topic.

With the help of those who showed up and took part in the event and the many generous donations, we managed to raise £311.00 to go towards our City Demolition x Mates in Mind JustGiving pot! So big well done to you all!

Louise had this to say following the successful fundraiser,

‘’I just wanted give a thank you to everyone who joined me on Saturday for my ‘Walk with Mates’ mental health walk in support of our fantastic charity partners, Mates in Mind, your support and presence truly made the day special!

I came up with the idea to organise this walk in Cannon Hill Park in Birmingham to create a space for open conversations around mental health, while also raising money to help Mates in Mind continue their incredible work. Thanks to your generosity and participation we were able to raise £311.00 for our JustGiving partnership page!

I’m absolutely thrilled with how the event turned out! From the positive energy on the day to the encouraging feedback I’ve received since. It’s clear that events like this can make a real difference, not just for fundraising but for raising awareness and breaking down the stigma around mental health.

Given the success of this walk I’m already thinking ahead and excited to plan an even bigger and better one in the summer, so stay tuned for details, and hope to see even more of you there next time!”
