Doncaster healthcare workers raise hundreds for men’s mental health

Leah Walton and Clare Hardy, Physical Health - Health and Wellbeing Leads at Rotherham Doncaster and South Humber NHS Foundation Trust (RDaSH) along with some colleagues took part in a sponsored walk on Sunday 8 October.

They did three laps around the lake at Lakeside to raise funds for Andy’s Man Club, a men’s suicide prevention charity, and managed to raise a grand total of £705.

Leah said: “Andy’s Man Club is an important charity, we wanted to raise awareness of how valuable this charity is for men who are living with mental health needs.

"We hope that by fundraising for the charity it will help support their growth.

"We personally know men who have been affected by mental health which has resulted in suicide.”

Clare said: “We are so pleased with the number of people that showed their support to this cause and are grateful for the amount of money we’ve managed to raise.”
