Adam Hudgeon, Founder of Reach IOM, and Shanya Pickett, Crowe Morgan Social Committee Member

CM continue to donate their Dress Down Day proceeds to local charities, with the latest recipient to be Reach IOM.

Reach IOM is a charity which aims to break the stigma surrounding mental health.  It started when Adam posted details of his own struggles on social media, and has grown ever since.

Reach IOM was suggested by the staff of Crowe Morgan as a worthwhile cause to support pre-lockdown, and it is probably fair to say that the past two lockdowns have resulted in an even greater need for the services that Reach IOM provide.  Adam confirmed that the charity has lost up to as much as £20,000 over the past 12 months, with pre-planned fundraising events having to be postponed or cancelled altogether.

Adam was thrilled to accept the donation of £500 on behalf of the charity, confirming that it would be put towards a specific project to create a space for children to attend outside of school, where they can discuss their mental health freely and openly.
