A Peak Challenge for Wellbeing!

At 10pm on the evening of Friday 6^th June, a minibus will set off from Doncaster to arrive at Ben Nevis for sunrise.  A team of intrepid volunteers, led by Hannah Lyndsay the founder of Mind Wellbeing, will then summit the tallest mountain in Britain.  That’s not all!  They will next climb Scafell Pike and Mount Snowdon in order to conquer all three mountains in 24 hours!

Why are they braving blisters, leg fatigue, exhaustion and exposure to the elements?  They are undertaking a British Three Peaks - Crowd Funder to raise funds for programmes that build resilience in Children and Young People in Doncaster and beyond.  So doing will help the children to become adults with a reduced risk of anxiety, depression and related conditions.

One in four adults are impacted by mental health issues within their lifetimes.  The proportion is even higher for business owners.  Hannah envisions a world free from mental health stigma. Her mission is to actively change the way people speak about this crucial topic, in order to dismantle the stigma associated with it.

According to Hannah, “By changing the conversation from ‘Mental Health’ to ‘Mind Wellbeing’, negative associations linked to the term ‘Mental’ can be dissolved. At the same time a whole new way of viewing, experiencing and talking about the mind opens up - one of wonder, awe, and curiosity.”

Mind Wellbeing currently delivers programmes to Doncaster schools and colleges.  Beneficiary organisations include the Doncaster School for the Deaf, several local Primary Schools and Academies.

During 2025, Mind Wellbeing is expanding services within Doncaster and beyond.  In addition, Mind Wellbeing will create digital resources with global reach.  The Crowd Funding campaign aims to raise £12,000 to support this inspirational endeavour.  Please see the following link:
