Professor Jerome Carson from the University of Bolton is raising funds for the MedEquip4Kids Hummingbird Project by walking an amazing 180 miles from Manchester to Walsingham in Norfolk during eight days in July. In the video below he explains about the Five Ways to Wellbeing, and how amongst other things, exercise can benefit our mental health. 

Delivered free of charge by MedEquip4Kids, the Hummingbird Project has been active in schools in Greater Manchester, Cheshire and Merseyside and has reached nearly 6,000 pupils since it began in 2018. It takes a preventative approach to mental health issues by introducing evidence-based concepts and practices that can improve resilience and emotional wellbeing. 

You can sponsor Professor Carson on his JustGiving page.

“This donation has enabled us to use more varied and useful therapeutic toys and games when working with children and young people with mental health difficulties, as well as using extra clinic rooms which are now more child-friendly. This has helped reduced anxiety about coming to CAMHS and meant that family therapy can be done. Both parents of a 10 year old boy can now attend with their 5 year old as the youngest child can play with our new resources in the waiting room or clinic space. The 10 year old benefited from therapeutic games about thoughts/feelings and we were also able to observe imaginative play for assessment.”
