A Small Thing for a Big Cause
2026 is a year I’ve decided to really work on me — but also get more involved in causes that are close to my heart through volunteering and fundraising.
In order to raise funds for mental health charity 20Talk, I'm going to take on the challenge of sitting in a 2 metre square box for 20 hours with no technology and no talking. This challenge will be a small look into the day of someone struggling with mental health. All I will have is my own thoughts, a journal and a chair to sit on.
Mental health affects so many people, and sadly we’re seeing it impact more and more young people every year. Too often, those who need help end up feeling lost in a system that doesn’t have the resources or funding to support them properly. This shouldn’t be the case.
The statistics are alarming..
- Suicide still remains the leading cause of death for young people aged 15-44.
- Only 2% of mental health funding goes towards prevention (Mental Health Commission 2022)
Your generous donations go towards:
- Every $120 puts a young person through a one day Mental Health Maintenance cours
- Expanding 20Talk's online resources and 60,000+ social media community
- Running large-scale interactive mental health events
I truly believe that with better funding, We can help people feel seen, supported, and guided toward the help they need
before they reach crisis point.
My door is always open, to anyone who needs to chat or just sit quietly 😊 You don’t have to struggle alone.. I have a comfy couch.. drinks in the fridge and coffee/tea on tap. If I'm not in then send me a message and we can meet up.
You are always welcome!! 🤗
You are never alone. ❤️
Any donation big or small would be greatly appreciated..
