LJWB recently held a series of events for its Month of Mental Health campaign.
Throughout June, Leeds Jewish Welfare Board (LJWB) held events for its mental health campaign, aiming to raise money and awareness for an important cause.
The month kicked off with a fantastic launch event – Unlock Your Mental Health – which saw an expert panel lead a vital discussion hosted by Richard Abrahams, marking the start of the mission to raise £125,000 to sustain vital mental health services for the year ahead. The panel consisted of LJWB’s Mental Health Team Leader, Paul Townend; PR entrepreneur and Founder of HelloHope, Ellie MacDonald; host of the Stressed but Well Dressed podcast, Dahlia Stroud; soon-to-be CEO of Leeds Rhinos, Jamie Jones-Buchanan MBE; and mental health consultant, motivational speaker, and trauma education specialist, Miranda Arieh.
The next event saw 29 amazing community members taking on a challenge to support their mental health and help raise funds. Twenty-seven walkers covered 13 kilometres, while two runners smashed a half marathon – together raising an incredible £15,000 for the campaign. LJWB hopes to make this event a firm fixture in its fundraising calendar.
The month was rounded off with an evening packed with laughter, music, and community spirit. Comedian Debra Tammer had the audience in stitches, and The Party Professors kept them dancing – the energy was unforgettable!
