We've got some incredible news to share!
Summits Up has been awarded £20,000 from The National Lottery Community Fund!
For us, this is about so much more than receiving a grant. It's about what this funding could mean for the people who need us.
When we started Summits Up, we had a clear vision: to create a community where mental health conversations are encouraged, where people feel supported and where accessing professional help doesn't have to involve lengthy waiting times.
We know just how difficult it can be to reach out when you're struggling. And we know how important it is that support is there when someone finally takes that step.
That's why we're so passionate about what we do.
Through Summits Up, we're working to make professional therapy more accessible, with the aim of connecting people to support within 24–48 hours wherever possible and providing up to six funded therapy sessions.
Every Step Has a Purpose
Whether you've joined us on a hike, taken part in a challenge, donated, volunteered or simply shared one of our posts, you've helped us build something special.
Our hikes aren't just about reaching the summit. They're about bringing people together, making connections, encouraging conversations and reminding people that they're not alone.
And behind everything we do is our commitment to improving mental health and helping prevent suicide.
What This Funding Means to Us
Receiving £20,000 from The National Lottery Community Fund is a huge vote of confidence in our charity and the difference we're working to make.
It gives us an opportunity to build on everything we've achieved so far and continue developing the support we offer.
We're still a growing charity, but our ambitions are big, and we're determined to make every opportunity count.
Thank You!
We want to say a massive thank you to The National Lottery Community Fund and National Lottery players for making this award possible.
And, of course, thank you to our incredible Summits Up community.
We're so grateful for every person who has supported us, believed in our mission and helped us get to where we are today.
We're excited for this next chapter, and even more excited about the difference we can make together.
Because ultimately, that's what Summits Up is all about.
Up for the challenge. Down to talk.
Our project was made possible thanks to #NationalLottery players.
