Help raise funds for Mental Health Awareness & Bench

A team of NHS 24 and Breathing Space staff are taking on Tough Mudder in Edinburgh on 7th June to raise funds for Mental Health Awareness and a Breathing Space Bench. The process of selecting a site and installing a bench costs around £1,500, and we’re hoping to raise enough to provide another space for people to pause, reflect, and connect with nature.

These benches have been placed in green spaces to offer a quiet spot where people can take a moment for themselves. Looking after your mental health and wellbeing is essential, and Breathing Space is a free, confidential service offering out-of-hours support to people across Scotland who may be feeling low, stressed, or anxious. If you need support, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

The Breathing Space Bench Project aims to create welcoming spaces that encourage people to take time to talk, listen, and show kindness and compassion.
