Charity Spotlight - Pattinson Peaks

This month and next, we will be shining our charity spotlight on our new charity venture, Pattinson Peaks in support of a worthy cause that affects many people, and that is Mental Health.  

On Sunday August 11th our staff will be joining together on a hike to fundraise for our chosen charity, ‘Mental Health Matters,’ which is a national charity with three offices in the North East. Our staff (and their families, friends and dogs!) will be walking and hiking together through The Simonside Hills in Northumberland, to raise money for such a worthy cause in aid of Mental Health Matters. It is an event that is for everyone, all ages, and abilities.

A few statistics to bear in mind;

• Mental health services in England received a record 5 million referrals during 2023 (up 33% from 2019)
• Around 1 in 6 adults in the UK are experiencing depression.
• ‘Mental Health Matters’ charity supports over 20,000 people every month to achieve their recovery goals.

As a company, the reason we are doing this is crucial, and covers so many reasons ‘why’. Not only to raise money for such a worthy cause/charity, but also to raise awareness about Mental Health in general and to encourage people to reach out for help.

We want to bring our Pattinson staff together for team building, team wellness and comradery, so that everyone knows they are never alone, and that there is always someone to turn to. Dark times are temporary, and there are people to help, people to talk to.
