I'm taking part in an 8 mile sponsored walk around Carsington Water on the 7th March 2015 to raise money for Borderline Arts & for Mental Health Matters Derby.
Mental Health Matters Derby is a Rethink Mental Illness peer support group which meets weekly to offer vital support, advice and encouragement to people whose lives have been affected by mental illness. We are a self funded group and voluntary run group and we rely on donations, fundraising and grants to support our work.
The group is ran by people who all have personal experience of mental illness and use their knowledge and experience to support others.
'Borderline' facilitates workshops, exhibits art and rehearses and performs drama pieces to raise awareness and break down stigma surrounding Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).
