On Sunday 30th November, more than 350 participants filled Cannon Hill Park with festive cheer at the much-anticipated third Mental Elf Fun Run. The family-friendly 5k event saw people of all ages don their best elf costumes to raise awareness of mental health and promote wellbeing across the city.

Families, friends, colleagues, and community members came together for a fun-filled, vibrant day, completing the course in support of improved mental health services in Birmingham.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of everyone involved, we are delighted to announce that the event raised an outstanding £18,961.39. These vital funds will help support Birmingham Mind’s mental health services, including our walk-in Wellbeing Hub on Link Street, located inside the Bullring & Grand Central.
