Every donation to A Day for Thorpey will raise awareness of mental health, and help fund our cricket programme “Thorpey’s Bat and Chat”.
We want to celebrate Graham and his memory, as well as remove some of the stigma around mental health, especially for men. Thorpey's Bat and Chat will help to do just this.

How we're making a difference
Funds raised from the inaugural Day for Thorpey in 2025 funded 10 local Minds to deliver our “Thorpey’s Bat and Chat” programme.
The programme runs over 12 weeks and is designed to support and improve mental wellbeing through playing cricket in a supportive and friendly group.
We’re hoping to be able to fund more Thorpey’s Bat and Chat programmes with the funds raised through Day For Thorpey.
