100 Miles to Go

​

I’ve never been particularly big on the blogging / vlogging / social media scene, so we’ll just have to see how this pans out…

 

Where to start? I’m Nick Phipps. CEO for YCT by day and (as of this very moment) amateur athlete by night. Over the next few months I’ll be blogging my efforts, providing pictures and videos along the way, as I train for a 100 mile charity bike ride, while planning a wedding and trying to hold down a day job.

 

I'll be raising money for YCT, who provide therapeutic support for young people aged 5-25, helping to overcome barriers / trauma faced in their lives, enabling them to feel positive about their futures, make constructive choices, increase self-esteem and develop confidence & communication skills.

 

Last year YCT supported over 1,000 children and young people, providing almost 8,000 hours of therapy in the process.

 

Issues with mental health are likely to affect us all at some point, whether it’s directly or indirectly.

 

· 1 in 4 of us will experience a mental health problem in any given year

· 50% of mental health problems will develop by the age of 14

· 75% of mental health problems will develop before the age of 18

 

By supporting services such as YCT we can help children and young people to get through the challenges they are facing, giving them the best opportunity to thrive.
