“Let’s challenge the mental health stigma and raise awareness of mental health problems. We’ll be out in the community over the coming months to raise funds for this worthy cause. Donations will help to ensure that anyone in the borough of Haringey will have access to mental health care services and support that they need.”

Bluebird Care’s community engagement manager, Nathan Hartley, added:

“According to the NHS, 1 in 4 adults will experience a mental health problem of some kind each year in England.

The rise of mental health problems for young people have increased from 1 in 9 in 2017 to 1 in 6 in 2020. It is important to take care of our mental health wellbeing, by taking advantage of the support services available. We can also improve our wellbeing by talking about the way we feel to friends and family, eating a nourishing diet and exercising regularly.”
