Valued Lives has set up a crowdfunding campaign to help raise money for mental health.

The CEO of Valued Lives sent me an email about Crowdfunding for a community health hub and an emergency crisis response unit in Cornwall.

The Cornish charity is a new non-profit organisation, who supports people who have mental ill-health to lead fulfilling lives in the community.

I’m backing this idea because currently there is no help available in Cornwall unless you have money.

I’ve been pushed from pillar to post between Outlook Southwest and the Mental Health team, who have lost my notes and have not contacted me since I had an assessment in May.

I’ve lost faith in the NHS mental health services and with Cornwall having the third-highest suicide rates in the country help should be available.

Celebrities and the Royals love to talk, but how many hubs in the UK have they opened and funded with their own money?

This is the reason why Valued Lives has turned to crowdfunding for support.

Shoni Haswell CEO of Valued Lives said: “We will be able to respond to people out of hours, at their home or our crisis cafe.

We will reduce hospitalisations, and promote a quicker and fuller recovery.

We will also support those close to the person to learn how better to support them, and understand how mental health affects their loved one.”

The purpose of the Crowdfunder is to enable Valued Lives to open a Hub in Redruth and begin offering services.

The charity will also need to purchase furniture and equipment and recruit their first full wellbeing team.

The Hub will provide an open door for information and advice, a crisis cafe that will provide emergency support, and will offer access to our wellbeing recovery programmes.

We have also placed a stretch fund on our target so that they can give a three month trial for a 24-hour face to face emergency crisis response service, which will cover the UK.

This service will respond quickly, tackling the need for people to go to A&E, or be placed into inpatient care, and reduce suicide rates across the county.

You can donate to the CrowdFunding campaign or visit their Facebook or Twitter pages.

The aim is to raise £25,000 in 25 days.

The campaign will finish at 1 pm on November 11th.

One in four people suffer from mental health, and the chances are that you will have a family member, colleague, friend, or associate with mental health even if they haven’t told you.
