31 Day Art Challenge raises over £1000 for local mental health charity
Ellis Jurado, 12, lives in Redhill and supports Mind in Croydon each year with fundraising events. This year he set himself an Art Challenge to produce 31 drawings in 31 days in October and raised a whopping £1,250 online – 125% of his original target.
Ellis’ Mum, Lucie, said “We knew that World Mental Health Awareness Day was 10th October, so decided it was the perfect month for him to complete his “Inktober” challenge. We set up an online fundraising page and hoped to raise £500 for Mind. Within the first 8 days Ellis had already hit £500. So we increased the target to £1,000 and by 31st October and 31 fabulous drawings later he managed to raise a whopping £1,250!”
This fantastic fundraising effort will go towards supporting the services that Mind in Croydon currently provides to people and families in Croydon, including social groups and activities, many of which have moved online during the Covid-19 crisis.
Philippa Thompson, Chief Executive at Mind in Croydon, said “We are all so impressed and delighted with what Ellis has done to raise money to support people with mental health issues in Croydon; good mental health often starts with kindness and hope, and that’s what Ellis has given to all of us."

Mind Policy and campaigns – Zoom meeting with Justin Tomlinson (the Minister for Disabled People)
“Ahead of the anticipated Government Green Paper & National Strategy for Disabled People we had the opportunity to meet virtually in an event hosted by National Mind with the Minister for Disabled People Justin Tomlinson.
We outlined the challenges that Mind in Croydon’s clients experience with the benefits system and how Covid-19 has made navigating the system even harder for many people with mental health issues. People with lived experience of mental health also took part and gave real life examples of how the benefits system creates sometimes insurmountable barriers for them.
Our work is influencing the development of what we hope will be a better benefits system that works for and with people experiencing mental ill health.”
Tom Goddard, Welfare Benefits Advice Service Manager
