Project 2021 - We Are Raising £2021 from 2020 until 2021 for Mind... * You Can Help Us - But we are not asking you for money! There is a mental health crisis in our society.
In our village of just 300 homes, there have been 4 adolescent suicides in the last few years. The Mortgages Company (Tapper Financial Services) also has close family members who have been affected by serious mental health issues.
20% of adolescents may experience a mental health problem in any given year
50% of mental health problems are already established by the age of 14
Suicide is the biggest killer of men under 50.
Project 2021 aims to support young people, so that mental health issues can be dealt with before they become deep rooted.
We want to raise £2021 in 2021 for Mid and North East Essex Mind**. The money raised will specifically help young people under 18 in NE Essex.
You can help us by recommending our business to friends and family. The Mortgages Company currently pledges to give £50 for every new client who takes either a mortgage or an insurance policy with us, and who quotes the reference PROJECT 2021.
Watch our progress on our Just Giving page. If you would like to donate anyway, please feel free to do so here. Thank you!
Our young people are not supposed to die before us, let alone take their own lives. Please help us to help them. Thanks again!
* following the Covid-19 outbreak, and consequent huge changes to the mortgage and insurance markets, we are extending our fundraising until the end of 2021
** part of the network of 130 local Mind organisations affiliated with the Mind national charity.
