Alliance Healthcare UK supports Mental Health UK this December

Mental Health UK is a charity that delivers national and local services that promote understanding and management of mental health in a person-centered and empathetic way. We are proud to be supporting better mental health for all in December, and have raised over £1,300 so far from festive fundraising stalls and a Christmas raffle at our Support Centre.

Amidst our busiest time of year, our Operation team membersalso found the time to give back to local causes and communities nationwide. Today, Exeter generously donated over 40 lunches to St Petrock’s, a local charity that has been supporting homelessness for a decade. We extend our gratitude to all our teams for coming together this month to support those who need it most.
