Anthony James insurance brokers to support Lamp mental health charity

Will raise funds from the first AJ Ramblers Round Leicestershire 50-mile walk

Loughborough-based insurance brokers, Anthony James is raising funds to support the Lamp (Leicestershire Action for Mental Health Project) charity. Anthony James will be holding its first AJ Ramblers Round Leicestershire day on Friday 6th August 2021. The Anthony James team will be taking on the challenge of a 50-mile sponsored walk around the Leicestershire Round route with all funds raised being donated to Lamp.

The AJ Rambler teams will be split into two with each team taking on the 50-mile walk collectively by completing 25 miles each, with two start points and one finish line at The Cheney Arms in Gaddesby, Leicestershire. People can sponsor the Anthony James teams at www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/ajramblersleicestershire

Steve Boorman, Managing Director of Anthony James said: “Lamp is a leading organisation supporting those who are seeking help with their mental health. The charity wants to encourage you to get active to better your mental health and increase your wellbeing.

“Through raising money for Lamp, we can help fund the charity’s free, anonymous, and confidential helpline and online self-referral form, or support their advocate work. Our money will also help Lamp’s essential work in the community and fund their campaigns to spread awareness of mental health and its impact on peoples’ lives. The charity’s campaign encourages positive behavioural change and help seeking behaviour – it’s ok not to be ok.”

Matt Barton, Operations Officer at Lamp added: “We’re delighted that the team at Anthony James will be supporting us through their first AJ Ramblers Round Leicestershire walk. It’s particularly great that as a company, they have empathy with, and understanding of the cause. We wish them all the best of luck for their challenge.”
