Mental Health Foundation to Benefit from Christmas Appeal
The UK’s Mental Health Foundation, whose initiatives we often publicise here, has been named as one of 8 charities to benefit from the Guardian newspaper’s 2006 Christmas Appeal, which this year focuses on mental health issues across the UK.
The Mental Health Foundation sent along the following information about the Guardian appeal, which this year focuses on mental health issues in the UK.
Money raised by the Guardian Christmas appeal will be shared equally amongst the 8 charities. It will pay for therapies, arts workshops, supported employment schemes, befriending projects, crisis support, research and campaigning activities.
Andrew McCulloch, Chief Executive of the Mental Health Foundation, said:
We are delighted that we are one of the chosen charities. Last year’s campaign raised over one and a half million pounds in total. With one in four people likely to experience a mental health problem every year, proceeds from the 2006 appeal will go a long way towards helping us continue our vital work.
The Mental Health Foundation, founded in 1949, helps people to survive, recover from and prevent mental health problems. For more information please visit www.mentalhealth.org.uk.
