70-Mile Isle Of Wight Coastal Walk Raises £40,000 To Support People With Mental Illness
By Amy Shephard
The founder of a charity which provides support to people with mental illness is taking on a 70-mile Isle of Wight coastal walk, to raise funds and awareness.
Louise Hallett, 68, is walking alongside her friend, April Edwards, 80, over an eight-day period starting and finishing in Yarmouth. The pair will set off on Monday (July 19) and hope to complete the walk on Monday, July 26.
The challenge has already raised an incredible £40,000 Hammersley Homes, the organisation Louise founded in 2018. Hammersley Homes recognises a growing scarcity of long-term supported housing options for adults suffering with severe and enduring mental conditions, such as psychosis and schizophrenia. The money will be used to help provide permanent supported homes for adults who suffer from mental illness.
