BES staff take part in the Fleetwood 10K to raise funds for local mental health group, “Men’s Shed Fleetwood”

We’re really proud of you and delighted that your generous friends and colleagues at BES helped to raise such a fantastic amount!

Matt’s story: 

“I first decided to run the Fleetwood 10k to set myself a personal target, mainly just to get myself fit and to give me a goal to work towards.  

After a few recent tragic deaths in my hometown of Fleetwood I also saw an opportunity to try and help out the local community, particularly in relation to men’s mental health awareness.

I took the decision to raise money for a new community group, “Men’s Shed Fleetwood”, who are currently raising funds to achieve charity status and set up a permanent base within Fleetwood.  

The group was set up to support local men who need some support with poor mental health. It was a challenge but I completed the 10K and was thrilled to have managed it – it was great to have my daughter waiting at the finish line for me! 

With the amazing support of my family, friends and colleagues I have raised over £600.00 to help “Men’s Shed Fleetwood” to help achieve their goal, plus I haves achieved my personal target of completing the 10K. 

If the money raised can even help support one person in the community, then it’s a job well done as far as I’m concerned. Everyone has been so kind with their donations and I know that all the money raised will be very much appreciated.”
