If you’re passionate about the importance of mental health, help us to continue our vital work. We couldn’t do what we do without the generous support of people like you!
Mental Health Awareness Week is an annual event founded and hosted every May by the Mental Health Foundation. The week is an opportunity to focus on achieving good mental health and wellbeing and removing the stigma that surrounds mental health. Get involved and show your support for Isle Listen and the importance of mental health this Mental Health Awareness Week.
Running a marathon and fundraising for charity has never been more popular and by doing so, it also has benefits for both you and us. We have six places for the 2023 Berlin Marathon, and we will be holding a ballot to choose six lucky runners on the day of this year’s Berlin Marathon, 24th September 2022.
Our Island community will always be at the heart of what we do. We rely entirely on the generous support of our community and every penny donated to us stays on the Isle of Man. As we look to the future, our incredible fundraisers and supporters are vital to developing our “Stop the stigma” campaign, enabling us to maintain our early intervention offering, and supporting emotional resilience education for young people across the Isle of Man.
We know how important it is to have access to vital early intervention mental health and provide our therapeutic support completely free of charge to those who need us. But did you know for every hour of therapeutic support we provide, our charity has to fundraise £135?
Your donations make a real and lasting difference.
