Will you take on the One-Day Lockdown Challenge and raise vital funds for Wellspring Therapy & Training?

#givingtuesdaynow is a global day of giving and unity taking place on the 5th May. It’s a day for us all to show how much we appreciate those key workers who have played such an important role over the last weeks and months and to those charities who are always there working on the important issues that make such a difference in all our lives. With the economic downturn and fundraising events cancelled, charities need help now more than ever.

Although Wellspring’s capacity is greatly reduced at the moment, we still have a team of counsellors offering much-needed online and phone counselling. Our services are becoming increasingly important during these challenging times. Could you support us by taking on one of these simple lockdown challenges at home for 12 or 24 hours and ask your friends and family to sponsor you?

• Stay home and stay awake for 24 hours! This idea started with 13 year old Joe who decided he would stay awake to raise money for Wellspring for 24 hours. Can you do the same? Jo aimed to raise £200 but due to his community’s generosity raised over £2000!
• Give up something unhealthy for 24 hours – whether it’s alcohol, sugary snacks, TV or some other comfort food.
• Walk, run, do star jumps…. Staying physically fit also keeps us mentally well! Could you do 100 star-jumps every hour of the day? Or walk or run for 12-24 hours in your garden or round your neighbourhood in the space of 1 week? (Please just remember to follow government guidelines.)
• Or get creative and come up with your own one-day lockdown challenge!

In response to the COVID-19 outbreak and the government’s most recent advice, our building is currently closed and we have changed our way of working. You can find out more here. If you would like to support us through this difficult time you can donate here.

Mount Toubkal Trek Information Evening: Monday, 3rd February, 7:30-9pm

Join us for an evening of Arabian nibbles & treats and find out more about Wellspring’s sponsored Mount Toubkal Trek taking place on 5th-9th August 2020.

This challenge is perfect for those who want to achieve something spectacular, whilst only taking five days away from home. Or for those who are new to charity challenge events and fundraising.

The terrain is demanding… but don’t worry! With exceptional support and expert mountain guides no previous trek experience is necessary. Together we will reach the summit! The trek is approximately 26 km over 3 days. And we end our charity challenge with a special celebratory dinner in Marrakech, a city full of charm, exotic delights and fantastic bargains! Life has changed very little for the Berber people of this region and we’ll be lucky enough to witness first-hand their culture and lifestyle as we discover the real Morocco.

Challenge yourself to summit North Africa’s highest peak, fundraise for Wellspring and experience breathtaking views along the way!

You can let us know you’re coming by email communciations@wellspringtherapy.co.uk or on our Facebook Event Page
