It has been organised by Sue Roberts, who is a mum from Stratford, who wanted to raise awareness about mental illness in young people and the stigma and taboo attached.

She spent many years working in a school and she also has teenage daughters and has seen first-hand how young people can struggle with mental illness.

She said: “What I want to achieve from this event is not only to raise much-needed funds to get these young sufferers the professional help they need as soon as possible, but importantly too, I hope the event will raise awareness of the serious plight of these young people and start to remove the taboo and stigma attached to mental illness.”

The event, which has been sponsored by Leycester House care home in Warwick, will raise money for three mental health charities; The Lifespace Trust, Silence of Suicide (SOS) and Young Minds.
