At RDDS, we are currently taking on a ‘virtual mission’ to raise money for our chosen charities ‘Mind’ and ‘Fighting with Pride’. We are working together to virtually walk/run around the coast of Britain in support of these important charities. Every day, we are making efforts to get active, inputting our individual activities to contribute towards the entire distance of the mission.

Mind is a charity advocating for building a society that prioritises mental health. Mind do some essential work for the public, raising awareness, spreading information and helping people in getting access to the support and services they need. World Mental Health Day is also very central to the charity, celebrated on 10th October this year, this day of awareness reminds us of the need to take care of our mental health. This year’s World Mental Health Day is all about the overwhelm we can experience as a result of modern life, current events, news and social media. Our virtual mission is a great example of something we can do to help our mental health in difficult times. Working towards a shared goal as a team, with that gentle encouragement to get outside or get active can be really helpful, especially with the transition into the darker months, when we may be less inclined to spend time outside. One of the most important parts of World Mental Health Day is that it encourages discussion about mental health, which is too often stigmatized and branded as something we should keep to ourselves, or deal with alone. Where everyone is comfortable, it is useful to have open conversations surrounding mental health, and work towards actively creating environments which prioritise wellbeing.

Our virtual mission is also raising money for Fighting with Pride, a charity supporting LGBTQ+ veterans, service personnel and their families. We have a separate post on our website sharing information about the charity which you can read here. We would be so grateful for any donations to sponsor our virtual mission and help support the important work of both of these charities.
