Fundraising Highlights

Tygan Pinch and Coral Morgan completed a Skydive to raise awareness of suicide prevention through the #4TOM campaign. Tygan and Coral were very close to Tom Smerdon, who lost his life two years ago. The girls raised a brilliant £1500 which was donated to us and used to provide talking treatments.

The Covid ITU team from Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board Prince Charles Hospital completed the South Wales 3 Peaks challenge and raised over £3.5K for us!

Darren Wilson raised a staggering £10,000 from his ‘Resolute - Ultimate Virtual Fitness Challenge.’ Darren and 15 people took part in the challenge, which involved doing a fitness challenge on the hour, every hour for 10 hours!

Darren and the 15 challengers raised £5,054 which was then generously match funded by Flyform - a local business. £5K was donated to Mind national and the remaining £5K was donated to us to go towards providing free talking treatments.

“My main motivation for these challenges was my Grandfather. A few years back he took his own life after struggling with anxiety and depression for a long time.

I saw the impact that had on me and my family, and also what he must have been experiencing, so I have committed to raising money for mental health so no one has to suffer like he did.”

Ethan Morris raised an amazing £2,134 after completing the Ten Y Fan challenge, the David Goggins challenge and the London Marathon in memory of his grandfather. The money Ethan raised was used to support our suicide prevention work by providing free talking treatments.

We are Cwm Taf Morgannwg Mind. We’re here to fight for mental health. For support. For respect. For you.
