The often-invisible nature of mental illness, and the fact that carers may not be helping with physical tasks, often means such carers, and those around them, don’t class what they do as ‘care’. But their role is just as valid, and deserving of support, as someone who cares for a physically disabled person.

There are a whole load of demands on your finances at the moment, so you might sigh when someone asks you to donate to charity. You know it’s important but it’s still a stretch. What if you could donate just by making your will? I’ve teamed up with Hammersley Homes to let you do just that.

Struggling with loneliness? Ironically, you’re not alone. The Covid-19 lockdowns have created a ‘hidden pandemic’ of loneliness and mental ill-health, with 1 in 14 saying they ‘often’ felt lonely during the pandemic - up 40% from pre-Covid. That’s why the theme for this year’s Mental Health Awareness Week, a campaign run by the Mental Health Foundation, is loneliness.

One of the biggest problems we face is not opposition to the idea of supported homes for adults with long-term mental illness, but simply a lack of awareness about the scale and severity of need for these homes.

Thank you Diana Jenner for running for Hammersley Homes again – what a star!

A terrific evening, and huge thanks to all who supported us! We were overwhelmed by the generosity and support we received.

On 6th October 2019, the gorgeous Diana Jenner was running the Bournemouth Marathon in support of Hammersley Homes again.

Rather than send flowers, if people would like to, Patricia’s wish was that they would donate to her charity.
