Stuarts 100 Mile Bike Ride
Date: 30th September
“Mental health illnesses have become increasingly more recognized recently with it being said that 1 in 4 people will be affected in any given year.
I personally have been affected in more ways than one and so too have many people I know.
It’s so important that the charities involved in helping affected people are supported, so I am looking to do what I can to give something back and help others in similar situations to myself.”

Louis’s Wimbledon Half Marathon

"I’m running for MIND because mental health needs to be taken as seriously as any other health condition. Thousands of people in the UK alone take their own life every year. THOUSANDS. With the proper funding, awareness and – most importantly – conversation, we can show everyone that asking for help with a mental health issue is no different to asking for antibiotics for an infection."

New Hoarding Group Starts 1st October 2019
The purpose of the project is to provide free group counselling sessions to participants, who reside in the Borough of Croydon, in order to help them examine why they collect items that clutter the home and what would it be like to consider letting some of these go.
As part of the project, if participants feel comfortable to do so, they will be introduced to De-Clutter Buddies who will come to your home on invitation and look at what could be done to support you in this decluttering. This offer is for an hour a week. If a client would prefer they can meet the De-Clutter Buddy outside of their home to start with.
