My Story

On May 13th I'm running the Bristol 10k in support of new Bristol-based charity Many Minds.

Taking part in arts projects has been of huge benefit to my mental health: giving me things to aim for and achieve, opportunites to be creative and make things with other people in a supportive environment and, when things have been at their worst, simply something to look forward to through all of the bleakness. I've got so much out of being involved with Many Minds and now I want to give something back...I've never run a race of this distance before so for me this is a massive challenge! Please give what you can, as a small charity any donation will have a massive impact.

We are Many Minds, a new Bristol based mental health charity that run workshops and make performance with people who have experienced mental ill health. We work with individuals to engage with their creativity, improve confidence, self-esteem and build social skills and networks. We run workshops in theatre making skills to devise and create high quality contemporary performance shown in professional venues.

We provide bespoke creative workshops and training to suit the needs of groups and organisations. We work with community groups, mental health providers, hospitals, schools, charities and local businesses to challenge the stigma surrounding mental ill health.
