We are so very grateful for the support from The Kings Lock and Something To Say, thank you so much for raising such a fantastic amount to support local mental health services 💙

After a week of fundraising leading up to Something To Say - a tribute to Dave Speakman, we’re over the moon to have raised an incredible 🎉 £11058 🎉

Just over £10,000 will be going to Cheshire Mind, with a £1000 donation to Macmillan 💙💚

This certainly wouldn’t have been possible without every single person who’s played a part. A HUGE thank you to all the musicians who performed, everyone who came to the events, bought raffle tickets, bid in the auction, gave prizes, volunteered, shared our posts, donated, supported behind the scenes or simply helped spread the word 🤗

And of course a massive thank you to Darren Roberts who has been amazing from the start, and a huge part of making this happen!

What a day it was! We’re so proud of what everyone helped us to create, and grateful we’ve been able to celebrate Dave in such a special way ❤️

A phenomenal £10,000 raised for Cheshire Mind thanks to The The Kings Lock and the Something To Say Festival 💙

A whole week of fundraising at The Kings Lock in Middlewich, held in memory of local musician and guitar teacher Dave Speakman, culminated in the Something to Say music festival on Saturday 12 September.

Dave was passionate about music and believed everyone should have the chance to learn, regardless of their circumstances. He ran free group guitar lessons and built a studio in Middlewich that became a local hub for musicians.

The week of fundraising brought together many of the people Dave had touched through music, with prize bingo, an open mic night, a charity quiz, a raffle, and an auction leading up to the festival.

The name Something To Say comes from one of Dave’s own songs and also reflects an important message about talking and looking after our mental health.

The money raised will go directly back into the local community, helping us to continue delivering vital mental health services across Cheshire.

A huge thank you to everyone who made the week possible, from the organisers, performers, and volunteers to everyone who donated, provided prizes, bought tickets, took part, shared the fundraising, or supported the team behind the scenes 💙

100 miles. 48 hours. £1,646.03 raised for Cheshire Mind! 💙

What an epic achievement from Rob Griffiths from Sweat Social who completed his Endure 100 challenge - running 2 miles on the hour, every hour for 47 hours, before finishing with a final 6-mile run to complete the 100 miles.

Rob popped over to our Cheshire Mind Hub in Winsford last week to present the team with his donation total. We’re so grateful to Rob for his fantastic fundraising efforts and for choosing to support Cheshire Mind 💙

Thank you, Rob, and well done once again! 🎉
