Helping to incorporate a school larder to local schools
Adrianna Lloyd of Hendred Estate will be supporting Markers for Mindfulness by holding a community mental health event, called ‘Tea & Talk’ 1st July 2023. This will be an event to incorporate a school larder to provide local schools with much needed supplies and raise awareness for students and staff mental health welfare.
These much needed funds will provide support and information about the project, and raise awareness plus much needed money to help more schools and students enabling the project to grow.
Agents Giving are delighted to be supporting the Tea & Talk event, we hope you raise a lot of awareness and much needed funds.
In January 2020 Markers for Mindfulness was launched
In 2019 after the loss of his best friend Daniel, then aged 14 decided to take his grief and channel it, to give back and make a change for good. He ran a 5k obstacle colour run in May 2019 raising £430 for the PICU at the hospital who cared for his friend. Daniel then spent the summer planning, holding cake sales & a raffle to raise money for mental health training in his school.
He raised an amazing £1,500. This money has been used by the school to train over 40 members of staff in mental health first aid. This has been a great benefit to not only students but the staff themselves.
In January 2020 Markers for Mindfulness was launched and has been encouraging the local community to recycle unwanted items such as pens and pencils, glue sticks, notebooks, whiteboard markers etc all to be sent out to primary schools most affected by government funding cuts. By providing underfunded schools with basics Daniel hoped to help the schools free up a small amount of budget to be used for student mental well-being and support, but also take the opportunity to raise the important issue of youth mental health with the schools and students.
