Manchester Mind

Want to join me in making a difference? On the 21st March, I will be taking part in a charity boxing match. I’m raising money to benefit Manchester Mind, and any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.

More information about Manchester Mind: Our purpose is to support better mental health for everyone. We believe that everyone deserves to be supported in their mental health needs and that we have a part to play in that. We value the commitment or our staff and volunteers who work hard to ensure our services are delivered in a way that enables people to feel heard and involved.

Hi, my name is Katie. This run is in memory of my friend Grace.

I’ll be running the Manchester Marathon to raise money for Mind Manchester, a charity that supports people with their mental health across our local communities.

Mental health affects so many of us — whether personally or through the people we love — and too often it still isn’t spoken about enough. Grace was funny, full of life, and someone who brought so much light and laughter into the lives of everyone around her. I want this fundraiser to reflect her, while also helping to raise awareness, understanding, and support around mental health.

Every donation will go directly to Mind Manchester to help fund vital services, including mental health advice, support, and community programmes that help people feel heard and supported when they need it most.

This one’s for you, Grace — and for anyone else who might be feeling alone right now. You’re not on your own, and you never have to face things by yourself.

Hi, I'm Kirbo!

I'm a part time Twitch streamer, and my goal this year to help make a difference is to let all my profits from Twitch go to charity!

I’m raising money to benefit Manchester Mind, and any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.

This charity was chosen by my community as our charity for this year.

Mental Health is being a better understood and more prominent health concern for people all over the world. I have lived and struggled with mental illnesses for over half of my life, and I have found plenty of support and solace in the services provided to me. To be able to give back to and support these services would be the very least I could do to repay them for all they've provided to me, and the best way I can think to do that is by donating to Manchester Mind.

Please join me in this cause to support everyone living with mental health concerns and try and make the world a happier place, one service at a time.

Thank you in advance for you contributions

Stay Kind <3

Hi Im Zack, and at the end of December I committed to running every single day for an entire year - no matter the weather, no matter how I feel, no excuses.

Why?

Because too many men suffer in silence.

Men's mental health is still something we struggle to talk about openly. Too many battles are fought behind closed doors. Too many people feel like they just have to 'get on with it' and too many lives are lost because the support isn't reached in time.

Running every day for 365 days isn't supposed to be easy - and that's the point. Some days will feel strong, some will feel heavy, some days I won't want to go, but ill show up anyway.

Because that's what resilience looks like.

Im raising money for Manchester Mind, a charity doing incredible work supporting people who are facing mental health challenges. They provide real support, real conversations and real help to those who need it most.

Every Donation - no matter how small - helps fund support services, safe spaces, and life-changing conversations.

If this challenge makes even one person open up, check in on a mate, or ask for help - it's worth it.

If you can donate, I appreciate you massively.

If you can't, sharing this means just as much.

Let's run the stigma out.

Lets make talking normal.

Let's make sure no man feels alone.

Hi! My name is Laila and I am running a half marathon at the end of May 2026, and I would like to raise a sizeable donation to go to Mind charity to help people with mental health conditions. Mental illness can affect anybody at any given time, even children, and it is important that people have somewhere to go when things get hard. We can all fall on hard times and feel like nobody understands or supports us. That’s why charities like Mind work with the community to provide mental health information and support for people in need and why I want to raise money for this charity as somebody who has a personal journey with mental health and who studied psychology at university. Please help me make a difference to the lives of everyday ordinary people like me and you. Thank you

Me and my friend Mandi will be running 10k for Mind, a mental health charity, at the TakeTheFell 10K Trail Run in Beacon Fell, Lancashire.

Mental health affects every single one of us — whether personally, through friends, family, teammates, or colleagues. It doesn’t discriminate, and it’s something we all face at different points in our lives. Taking time to talk, move, and support one another can make a real difference in preventing mental health struggles from becoming overwhelming.

Running this 10k is our way of raising awareness and giving back to a charity that provides vital support, advice, and resources to those who need it most. On top of the run, we will both also be doing a charity head shave to raise as much money as possible for this incredible cause.

We’ve both been incredibly lucky to have strong rugby teams, family, and friends around us — communities that have helped us through tough times and reminded us how powerful support networks can be. Not everyone has that, and that’s why Mind’s work is so important.

Every donation, no matter the size, helps make a difference.

Thank you for supporting us, supporting Mind, and helping to break the stigma around mental health.

Hi my name is Madelyn,

I’m raising money for Mind, a charity that supports mental health and wellbeing, by taking on a half marathon challenge.

Mental health is something that has touched my life deeply. I’ve experienced my own struggles, and I’ve also seen close friends and loved ones go through difficult times. Those experiences showed me how isolating and overwhelming things can feel, especially when you don’t know where to turn or feel like you have to cope alone. There were moments when I desperately needed support, understanding, and reassurance — and that’s stayed with me.

Those experiences are also what led me to study and work in the mental health sector. I do this work because I want to be the person I once needed: someone who listens, understands, and reminds others that they are not broken and they are not alone. Mind plays a huge role in making that kind of support accessible — through helplines, local services, education, and advocacy — and the funds raised will help ensure more people can get help when they need it most.

This half marathon isn’t just a physical challenge — it’s deeply personal. Every mile represents resilience, recovery, and the belief that things can get better. If you’re able to donate or share, you’re not just supporting a run — you’re helping someone feel seen, heard, and less alone.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for being part of this

I’m just a normal lad trying to make a difference for many of these men and young lads out here who are suffering with poor mental health, feel like they’re in a dark place and only come to one conclusion and it’s not the answer, please join me on my journey to raise awareness and fundraise for the charity ‘Mind’ and that is the charity I will be raising money for and to help make a difference, any donations won’t go unnoticed and would be so greatly appreciated, I know how hard it is for some people out there but there is so much more beyond the cage you feel trapped in. I’m running the Manchester 10k in may and I will be training for it and I’ve planned some other events that I think would raise awareness: mountain hikes, more runs, charity sporting events, I’m fully legit and you can check out my page on instagram.

On 31st May 2026, I’ll be taking part in the Great Manchester Run, running in memory of my Uncle Matt, who sadly passed away in March 2022. Matt was deeply loved and is missed every single day. Losing him highlighted just how important mental health support is, and how vital it is that people never feel alone when they are struggling.

I’m fundraising for Manchester Mind, a charity that provides essential mental health services and support to people across our community. Every donation, no matter how big or small, will help them continue their life-changing work and ensure support is there for those who need it most.

Running this race is my way of honouring Matt’s memory and turning something painful into something positive. Thank you so much for reading, donating, or sharing. your support truly means the world to me.

Hello its Kirstie, this go fund me as been set up to raise much needed funds for Manchester Mind. With myself going to a mental breakdown in August, I didnt realise I needed help at first but with help and support I got the help I needed. It was time to take control of my own mental health. With my daily dances "Dancing to feel good" i have not only helped myself heal. I have help many others by giving them a boost and focus on the own mental health. I would love to raise as much as possible, Thank you K x
