Shining light on mental health care

A LEICESTER-based clothing brand has donated 10 per cent of its overall weekly sales from Mental Health Awareness Week (May 10-16) to Lamp (Leicestershire Action for Mental Health Project).

This donation will support the charity and raise awareness of mental health issues.

To strengthen its support for Lamp, Just Hype clothing has also joined the charity’s Business Club.

It is aimed at bringing influential leaders within organisations together to share best practice, identify needs-based gaps in mental health within the workplace and to enable those involved to make a difference with a collective voice.

Joshua Bennai, brand and social media manager at Just Hype, said: “Being a Leicester brand, we want to give back to our community and help out as much as we can. Lamp is our preferred mental health organisation as they are also Leicester-based, so we hope that we can work together to help them to be there for anybody struggling with mental health issues.”

Matt Barton, at Lamp, said: “We’ve seen a marked increase in people contacting us for help during lockdown so donations such as Just Hype’s are vital in helping us to deliver our services.”
