In times of uncertainty, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the disruption to daily life and it can be even more difficult to deal with for those people who already struggle with their mental health. Promoting mental wellbeing is important to us at DLG and so we want to want to help our corporate charity Mind continue to provide vital services and support to those who need it during these difficult times by making a donation to its emergency fund from our DLG Community Fund.

Before Covid-19, the Group was committed to raising £150k for Mind. However due to lockdown we have been unable to hold the usual fundraising events, so  we’ve decided to donate £100,000 to Mind’s Infoline and £150,000 to the charity’s emergency fund. When it becomes too much and people want someone to talk to, the charity’s Infoline provides advice, emotional support and information for every aspect of mental health. Many people already experiencing mental health problems are calling to find out about continuing to access medication and families are worried about the support available to them and their loved ones.
