WA Management raise over £1000 for mental health charity Mind

a £1 donation, meaning the team’s efforts contributed £775 towards the final figure of £1,265.

Contributions were also received from kind donations from friends, family, and customers, via both WA Management’s JustGiving page, and the private fundraiser of one of the team.

William Whittaker, Managing Consultant of WA Management, explains why the team chose to support this campaign.

“As Health and Safety Consultants, we know the importance of supporting mental health both within and outside of the workplace. Mental health affects so many in the UK, and it is vital that it is treated with the same importance as physical health.

“Employee welfare is also a current main focus of the HSE for all industries. Their ongoing Working Minds campaign means we are advising and aiding all of our customers in putting welfare policies in place and providing both in-person and online mental health training to employees.

“As such, we thought it was fitting that we turn our fundraising efforts towards supporting one of the biggest support services in the country.”

The 100 Miles in March campaign has now raised a grand total £296,314 this year, which is enough to fund 29,631 enquiries to their Infoline – 25% of all enquiries they received last year!

The WA Management team, having enjoyed getting stuck into March’s challenge (despite the rain and even snow that threatened to hinder their progress!), are now looking forwards to their next fundraising challenge, and researching potential events to get involved with.
