12 miles for Hertfordshire children's charities for GRIT; Growing Resilience in Teens
GRIT are a Hertfordshire based charity supporting young people aged 11 - 24 facing challenges with their mental health and wellbeing. Run, walk, dance, row, spin, cycle, however you like and join us in moving 12 miles this February to help us raise £120!
My story
In the UK we are facing an epidemic of mental health problems in young people. With self-harm at an all time high and traditional treatment pathways such as CAMHS being vastly overstretched, early intervention is not always possible which can lead to further difficulties in adolescence and adulthood.
Hertfordshire County Council's statistics support this, revealing that one in seven 11-16 year olds have experienced a mental disorder - around 12,065 children and young people in the county.
In 2024 we supported 510 young people, a figure expected to rise to 625 in 2025. Over the course of the next 5 years we expect our service to reach approximately 2,184 young people.
As a charity we rely on donations to keep us going and able to provide our services to the young people of Hertfordshire.
We are so excited to be partnering with Helping Herts to not only raise more awareness about the work we do, support other local charities and what they do with families in Herts but also for the opportunity for match funding, meaning your donation goes further!
Thank you for your support.
