Bluebird Care Winchester, Eastleigh & Romsey will raise vital funds for mental health charity Solent Mind after naming them as charity of the year
We are delighted to announce that Solent Mind will be our charity of the year as we strive to promote good mental health in the local area.
As part of this, we have planned a community fundraising programme to generate vital funds for Mind’s mental health support services, with the aim to empower people to lead a full life as part of their local community.
Mental health illness currently affects 1 in 4 people in the UK*. Bluebird Care therefore want to support our local community by working in partnership with Solent Mind to raise awareness of mental health and the local services that are available from the charity.
