MELP fundraiser is raising awareness of mental health & encouraging positive activities

The Melp Mindful Miles Run at Edenbrook Country Park, Hook, happening this month, is the first of what they hope to be an annual event that serves multiple purposes. 

It’s a fundraiser to help them continue their work, but it’s also a community-driven event designed to raise awareness about mental health and get people involved in healthy, positive activities.  

There are 1K, 5K, and 10K options so that everyone, from families to seasoned runners, can participate. They are looking to encourage participants to kick off the year by building positive habits that are great for mental, emotional, and physical health. 

By signing up for the run on February 1st, donating, volunteering, or simply spreading the word, you are doing your bit to help a small local charity, with big ambitions. Melp is passionately focused on making mental health resources accessible to those who need them most. It was founded with a mission to support underserved communities – like schools, grassroots academies, and especially women’s sports. 

The foundation is raising money to provide preventative mental health education and holistic support. The Melp Foundation is deeply committed to the idea that mental well-being is just as important as physical health, and strives to make a positive impact in a truly inclusive, community-oriented way.
