After our first and successful fundraising event in 2023, we're thrilled to announce the next abseil challenge for 2024 will again be at The Liverpool Cathedral. Taking place on Saturday 7th September 2024, between 5.30pm and 6.30pm, this is a 150 ft drop that you will gradually lower yourself through and will commence down the West Door of the Cathedral. As the dedicated charity for Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust, we support our specialist mental health and community services to do more by funding enhanced support, projects, and services usually outside the scope of the NHS. Together, we believe we can enhance and exceed expectations of the health, care and wellbeing available to the people we serve; helping the NHS go further . Offering specialist services in physical and mental health, learning disabilities and addictions services; y our support will allow us to improve care and facilities for patients and communities across Cheshire and Merseyside, helping us to fund innovative projects and developments that can tackle health inequalities, challenge stigma and enable our specialist mental health and community services to do more. With support, funding has allowed us to provide wellbeing packages for children in care, fund ZSA suicide awareness training and make therapeutic sensory gardens and spaces for patients working towards recovery to go home. Funding has furthermore allowed us to set up a monthly support group for Young Onset Dementia patients, host interactive and creative spaces for children and young people to write about their experiences after COVID, and provide support for foster carers and parents to understand teenage emotions. But there is still so much more we can do to make a difference in the lives of our patients and service users within our communities.
