The Annual Grace Dear Trust vs Claygate Cricket Cl

The Annual Grace Dear Trust vs Claygate Cricket Club match 🏏

What a great day! It was so good to see old friends and some new ones come together and support the day.

The GDT started well winning the toss, and looking strong in the first innings. But Claygate pulled out all the stops and took this year’s victory 💪

Huge congratulations to @vicki.lane.3956 as on Saturday she was busy abseiling down the Spinnaker Tower, all to raise money for The Grace Dear Trust 💜

With the money raised we can continue the work with our partner schools and fund guest speakers who provide a critical insight into self-harm, eating disorders and other mental health issues. Together we can raise awareness for students, parents, carers and teachers.

Well done Vicki and thank you for supporting us!

Do you have a challenge that you want to complete? Get in touch no matter how big or small we always welcome your support and are grateful for any money you can raise on our behalf 💪

A massive thank you to @satveer_nijjar! It was amazing to have her back delivering her mental health and self harm awareness workshops.

Satveer spoke to the students and teachers of @esherhighofficial in the daytime and then to the parents and carers in an evening workshop.

Here, at The Grace Dear Trust, we think it’s important to be proactive when it comes to talking about mental health. Arming young people and adults with the confidence and knowledge on how to talk to others who may be struggling… before we have to be reactive.

Don’t suffer in silence, reach out if you need support today, remember it’s not weak to speak 💜

In loving memory of Jonny, who sadly lost his life to suicide.

Jonny worked at Sandown Sports Park and as a way to honour his memory and raise awareness for such a prominent issue they organised the ultimate Sports Day!

Thank you to everyone who attended and supported the day and a massive thank you @sandownsports for having us as your chosen charity to raise money in Jonny’s memory.

A fantastic £1,419 was raised for the charity, which will be spent supporting young people and schools in Surrey to raise their mental health awareness with workshops and counselling 💜

The first of many more @gracedeartrust7s touch tournament was a huge success 🏉

We are overwhelmed with the support we have had in making this event happen. A massive thank you to @joshie2caps and @henleyshipping for organising a fun day for everyone and @reedsweybridge for hosting and supporting the event and finally to @theneillong for playing the best music 🎶 💜

Although we have not yet worked out the final figures, the money raised will help in supporting the work we are doing in Surrey. However, the day for us wasn’t about raising money. It was about getting young men and women together through the beauty of sport and raising awareness of the importance of talking about how we are feeling 💜

Mental Health Awareness Week 💚💜 One in four

Mental Health Awareness Week 💚💜

One in four adults feel lonely some or all of the time. The longer we feel lonely, the more we are at risk of mental health problems.

Bellow are some tips from @mentalhealthfoundation

1. Try to do some enjoyable things that will keep you busy

2. Try to do things that stimulate your mind

3. Think about doing a physical activity

4. Try to engage with the people you meet in your daily life.

5. Find people that ‘get you’
