Just a quick post…
You
may have noticed on my last blog post that I am becoming heavily involved in
fundraising for the student mental health charity Student Minds. I am thrilled
to say that as a society at Sheffield Hallam University, our first quiz bingo fundraising
event went incredibly well and we raised a fantastic £45 for the charity!
However, the event meant so much more than just raising money, it allowed
people to enjoy a sociable night out with their friends, and I can say that on
behalf of the society committee members, we really enjoyed meeting lots of new
people! So a huge thank you to everybody that turned up and I hope that you had
an enjoyable evening.
I
also mentioned on the previous blog post that I would be participating in the
Student Colour Run in Sheffield on 29th April 2017 and that I would
be doing this 5km run/walk to raise money for Student Minds. Well I now have a
fundraising page set up for my first event as a Fundraising Champion, which I
am so excited about! This is an individual effort to support the charity with
the work that they do and any donations would be greatly appreciated. You can donate online using the link below…
Finally,
on Wednesday 19th April 2017 I will be hosting a pub quiz and raffle
at The Black Swan in Eastrington to raise money for another two charities that
mean so much to me- Mind and SEED Eating Disorder Support Service. This will be
another opportunity for me to pay them back for all of the support they have
given me throughout my time in recovery. However, the event will be more of an
excuse for me to have a catch up with everyone at home as I make my way back
for the Easter break! Even if you do not take part in the quiz, I really hope
that you will come and say hello!
It
goes without saying that any donations for any of these charities are extremely
worthwhile to help support the fantastic work that they do. I completely
appreciate that money is precious and that I am doing a lot of fundraising at
the moment, but this is because I love feeling as though I am doing my bit to
make a difference. I do not expect masses of donations- a small amount of money
can go a long way in helping somebody or a group of people. I want to take this
opportunity to thank everybody for their continual support throughout all of my
fundraising efforts and I hope that I can continue playing my part in making
improvements to mental health charities and the support they can offer.
