The event is an important fundraiser for Mind Jersey and participants will be invited to make a minimum £5 donation and purchase raffle tickets on the day. Prizes include dog grooming and training vouchers whilst there will be treats for owners too! All doggie entrants will receive a free ‘doggy bag.’ 

Event start date and time:9:45am on Sunday 23rdSeptember

Route:St Aubin’s and back

Registration location:   1stLayby on the Avenue west of The Lookout Cafe

Cengiz Somay, Managing Director of TMF Jersey – one of Mind Jersey’s 2018 corporate sponsor – said: “Supporting the work of Mind Jersey is really important to us. A number of my colleagues have been able to undertake Mental Health First Aid training delivered by the charity and we have already noted the difference this has made in our workplace. It has increased our understanding of good mental health and wellbeing and highlighted just how important it is to prioritise.” 

James Le Feuvre, Executive Director of Mind Jersey, added: “We are very grateful for the support that the team at TMF Jersey continue to bring to our charity, both in raising awareness and also invaluable funds. One of our key priorities during the year ahead is to bring more support to local children and young people and this additional funding will make all the difference in helping us achieve this goal.”
