World Mental Health Day: Firewalk

On October 10th, 2024, we hosted an incredible Firewalk at Writtle College to mark World Mental Health Day, and we want to say a huge thank you to everyone who took part! Your bravery in walking across hot coals helped raise much-needed funds for Mid and North Essex Mind, supporting mental health services in our community.

A huge thank you to Rev Rod Reid for not only participating but also helping spread the word about the event and raising funds. Your support means the world to us!

Thank you to our amazing partners

• Cliff Mann at Time4Change, who guided us through the firewalk.
• My Little Drinks Van, for the tasty autumnal drinks, taking part, and raising over £1,500!
• Azure Wood Fired Pizza, for providing delicious wood-fired pizzas.
• Hunnaball Family Funeral Group, our generous event sponsors.
• Anglia Ruskin University Writtle College, for hosting us.

Together, We’ve Made a Difference
Thanks to your efforts, we’ve raised essential funds that will go directly toward supporting mental health across Mid and North Essex.

Thank you again to everyone involved! Your support is truly appreciated.

If you couldn’t join us this month but feeling inspired to take on the Firewalk challenge, we have another date next month in Colchester!
