Mental Health Awareness & KN charity challenge

Last month saw us marking this year’s Mental Health Awareness week in May with a number of activities planned for staff. The team dressed in green for the day and donated money to The Mental Health Foundation as well as taking part in a lunchtime meditation session with Amethyst Healing Rooms – a mindfulness session designed to de-stress and re-charge where staff took in the soothing chimes of sound-bowls and learnt about our chakras!

Following this year’s MHAW theme of ‘moving more for our mental health’, a team of us also completed the 16 mile Penistone Boundary Walk on 19^th May in support of the Barnsley Hospital Charity and The MS society – a charity that provides research into MS and help and support to those living with the condition. We were lucky enough to have blue skies and sunshine on the day which was a welcome change from the previous weeks of wet weather but possibly made the uphill climb during the last leg all that bit more challenging! All in all though it was a great challenge and led to donations in excess of £1,000 towards our chosen charities. Thank you to all who supported and donated https://kevingleeson.muchloved.com/Fundraising/Donations
