24 Hours – Moving for Mental Health

August 31, 2022

9th & 10th October YPAS Staff will be “Moving for Mental Health” in a 24 hour challenge to raise money for our hub restoration appeal.

We are hoping to raise as much money as possible for a restoration of our city centre community hub. For this event, YPAS staff will be running and cycling non-stop for 24 hours in our North Community Hub.

People suffer with their mental health 24 hours a day 7 days a week and we want to take on this challenge to raise awareness of that! 24 is the key number we are focusing on here and we would love as many people as possible to join us in any way you can by taking on the challenge of 24.

This could be running, walking, skipping, swimming or anything at all linked with 24 for example 24 acts of kindness, 24 children holding hands and singing for 24 minutes we can’t wait to hear your creative 24 fundraising ideas.

Starting at 12pm on Sunday 9th October YPAS staff will set off running on a treadmill and a bike in our North Community Hub non stop for 24 hours.

Please follow our social media @YPASLiverpool for updates.

You can find out more about the mental health hub rebuild and donate to the 24 hour challenge here.

 

Amazing, thank you for the information and support. It's a scary world being a parent to a child with ASD but now I feel there is light at the end of a very dark tunnel. Such a lovely, friendly team. Thank you.

I worked with Emily. I enjoyed talking about what's going on in my life whilst it is being fun, it's never 'there's something wrong', it's always 'how do we help you' which I like. Emily is amazing, she's helped me so much and she's just a lovely person!!!

YPAS was the first organisation that took me in and also the quickest, Sonia helped me get through a very difficult stage in my life and has bettered me as a person. I feel better equipped to deal with situations in life and my mental health has improved overall because of it.

My son has loved coming to sessions each week with Lisa. He has calmed down a lot. This has been a fantastic service with people who genuinely care. Thank you, Lisa!

I felt progression and I found my strength and resilience through the sessions. I am proud of myself for staying strong and showing my commitment through the past months of my sessions. I also gained a handful of coping strategies and I maintained my balance by controlling my worries.
