Today’s the day!
On Saturday 11th May 2024, Jill Walshaw is holding a charity event, in memory of her late son Matty, who tragically died in a car accident in 2018. This event is supporting men's mental health, encouraging men to talk and not suppress their struggles, or deal with them alone.
The event will take place at the St Margaret's Church Grounds in Horsforth, and all proceeds will go to Leeds Mind and St Margaret's Church funds.
Jill has witnessed trauma, depression and shock in young men, especially following traumatic events and this is her reason for organising this.
The event will have stars making an appearance such as members of the Emerdale cast, former singers from The Voice, a pop up bar and live auction, with prizes from local businesses and more. Myself and Unlimited creations have created a party package, including a voucher to spend in their shop and a party planning service.
Food stalls such as Wing A Ding and Clean-Kitchen. Mike Toblin from Toblins Thai Boxing Gym will be doing a talk and former footballer Sanchez Payne will also be attending in support of the event. Horsforth High School are also involved in the event and Jill is hoping lots of students and their families attend.
This event welcomes anyone to join, to help raise money for such an important cause.
