Let’s Do It Project 

The Let’s Do It Project is committed to supporting and improving mental wellbeing to young males aged between 14 and 20 through peer led activities. Just as with our physical health, there are times when we can struggle with our thoughts and feelings. Our mind otherwise known as mental health can be affected by all sorts of things – stress, exams, relationship break-ups, problems at home or work, the death of someone close to you, bullying. And sometimes, it is not clear why a problem has started – it just has! We recognise that it isn’t always easy to talk about how we are feeling or when we are struggling. If you are worried, you don't need to struggle alone and in silence. We are here to help. Contact our Middlesbrough office on 01642 257020.

With funding from Macmillan, this research project aims to improve the experiences for people living with mental health problems who are also affected by cancer. We would like people to come forward with their story to ensure that people with mental health problems have the same access to cancer services as everyone else.
