Fund International Yoga Day event for Mental Health

Hi, my name is Joanna Konefal. I am organising a free public event for Mental Health & Wellbeing in Milton Keynes aiming to reach 1000 people. The focus is to prevent and support local residents who struggle with Mental Health issues. The objective of the event is to remove any barriers and misconceptions around how yoga and other wellbeing activities can help people deal with various challenging situations, including relationship problems, work burn out, addictions, loneliness, stress, sleep problems etc. It is completely free to attend.

The interest around the initiative so far has been immense. We are featured on the MKFM website. We are going on air on the week of the event, and we have a pop up space at Centre:MK. Please check out the press release about the event here .

The event depends exclusively on private funding in order to cover all basic costs. A few small businesses are supporting the event in different forms of sponsorship, however, with three weeks left until 21 June, we're still short of £500. Those funds will enable us to pay for toilets rental and a sound system, in order to serve as many users as possible. Any reminder or excess will go towards promoting the event, again, with the aim to reach as many people who might be struggling with their Mental Health, and need a space to breathe, relax and calm down.

Running for the first time this year, I intent it to be an annual date for wellbeing in the region. If you are local or wish to travel, or if you know of anyone who is interested in attending the event, here the link to book the classes on Eventbrite .

All donations are welcome as they will add up! We'd appreciate if you share the fundraiser on your social media.

Thank you for your support
