Over the coming year, we will be working closely with the Customer Servicing Team as they help to raise awareness and funds to support the work of the Foundation.

To mark nearly two years since Max’s passing, his good friend and talented singer, Joshua Phillips, recorded and released a beautifully poignant tribute song. “Singing Delilah” has been released via Bandcamp, with all proceeds very kindly being donated to the Mindstep Foundation.

The Mindstep Foundation is incredibly proud to announce that we are now an officially registered charity within England and Wales.

Last month, In aid of Mental Health Awareness Week, more than 160 people completed the Mindstep Burpee Challenge, raising over £1,700. The challenge involved donating £5 for every 9 burpees completed and nominating others to do the same.

Throughout the month of May, Capita Resourcing’s Consultancy tower took on the challenge of completing a total of 536 miles of exercise across the team. The team walked, ran and cycled to reach their goal quicker than anticipated, choosing to double their target to 1072 miles.

Llewellyn Davies writes about his experience undertaking the Isolation Centurion running challenge - 100 miles throughout the month of May in support of the Mindstep Foundation.

On the 3rd October Professor Rory O’Connor, from Glasgow University, delivered a fascinating talk to parents and staff about understanding suicide and self-harm in young people.
