From Isaac, Ruth, Lee, Grace and everyone else that helped organised the march for better mental health services we wanted to say thank you. Thank you so much to everyone that came, thank you to everyone who gave up their time to steward and thank you to everyone who has supported and stood with us on this journey.

This is far from the end, this is the beginning. This march was born out of frustration and anger with the university but it became an event filed a sense of community and love. That’s the thing with mental health problems, you feel so alone, isolated and outcast. But, together, we helped changed that. It wasn’t just the fact that this was the biggest march this university has seen in years despite being in the middle of exams, it was the fact that everyone there came from completely different subjects, societies and backgrounds. Confirming what everyone knows to be true, mental health is something that effects everyone no matter who you are.

However we know have to do something even harder, we have to reach out and help those who were too anxious to come to such a large crowd, those who felt like they had no friends to go with and those who were too crippled to leave bed. We must help and look out for one another.

Now Support Our Services is joining with Student Minds, the incredible student mental health charity, which will provide us with the support and resources to continue on this journey. If you would like to join us, you can sign up here >> https://goo.gl/forms/nnPVssNUvFTQ6a0z1

We love you all,
