Why we’re gathering

For 60 years, SECE Mind has stood alongside people across South East and Central Essex, offering support, challenging stigma and helping to create stronger, healthier communities.

The funds raised will help SECE Mind continue developing local mental health support and creating opportunities for people to find hope, connection and help when they need it.
