It’s a wrap!

Our incredible team of fundraisers have completed their epic 2 day, 60 mile challenge walking from Oldham to Blackpool!

A massive well done to everyone who has been part of the challenge team!

Special thanks to Naya Brent who works for POINT in our Blackpool team and has organised this with her family, to create a new mental health and grief support service in memory of her brother MYLES.

An incredible effort raising almost double the target amount.

It was even worth our latest addition to the POINT family staying up way past his bedtime!

You are all amazing people doing amazing things and we hope you will join us when we launch our new service… Making Your Life Emotionally Stronger

Now for a radox bath, a massage and a well earned drink!!!
