Marshalls
We have a two-year partnership with Marshalls, the UK’s leading hard landscaping company. Along with fundraising for Mind, Marshalls wants to raise awareness about mental health within their organisation.
They plan to raise £100,000 for Mind each year and offer mental health awareness training to their staff.
Jack Clarke, Group Finance Director at Marshalls, comments
"Mental health is an issue which touches everyone and affects most families. My family and I suffered the loss of our son Daniel after a long term mental health issue and received much support and help along the way, but we also learnt that there is a good deal more that needs to be done.
The most important thing is to raise awareness and make people feel comfortable and at ease talking to friends, family and colleagues about mental health. It is not something to be ashamed about; indeed, bringing it out into the open and providing support is the best way forward."
I for one know that all the board and management team at Marshalls are excited and committed to supporting and working in partnership with Mind throughout the year by raising vital funds for an extremely worthwhile cause, as well as working to end the stigma surrounding mental health."
There are lots of fundraising activities planned, including an extreme challenge organised by the company’s Directors. We’re sure Marshalls will reach their goal and help us make sure no one has to face a mental health problem alone.
