Did you know that worldwide, 1 in 4 people will be affected by a form of mental illness at some point in their lives? How about the fact that one of the leading causes of disability globally is depression? Or the fact that the fourth leading cause of death among people aged 15-29 years old is suicide? It is because of these dire numbers that Mental Health UK was formed. Mental Health UK is the only mental health charity working UK-wide to raise awareness about the importance of mental health. They also provide support to people with mental health needs through their various programs.

On October 7, Mental Health UK will be holding Glow London, a 20km night walk fundraising event to help folks who have mental health problems.

Taking part in Glow mental health charity walk means you can walk and talk with others who are passionate about mental health, and together, you’ll be helping people across the UK to better understand and manage their mental health.

We want to be one of the city’s featured sights that night, so dressing up is encouraged! Be it glow sticks, luminous face paint, fairy lights, or fun clothes.

Friendly dogs are welcome and can dress up too. Please note that those under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a guardian at all times.

Your entry fee helps us to ensure this event is safe and well delivered, but that’s not all. The money you raise in the run-up to Glow will help us support more people across the UK whose lives have been affected by mental health problems. Find out about the vital work we undertake that you’ll be helping to fund.

Shine a light on mental health. Walk, glow, and be part of a supportive and compassionate group. Register here now.
