Changing Minds with Pick up a Penny

changing minds

Fantastic local charity run by Sara Young, who is married to GAP Group Operations Director Peter Young. Changing Minds offers a multidisciplinary range of mental health interventions for children, young people, and their families. They propose to establish a network of centres, the first of their kind, across the country to provide these therapies as well as CPD, training, and events for the wider mental health community. The centres will expand upon the range of therapies currently available on the NHS, provide new referral routes to help people more quickly and reduce waiting times, alleviating pressure on the system overall in the region.

Peter Moody, CEO of Gap Haulage & GAP Group in Gateshead, has confirmed in writing, that Gap Haulage will collect and deliver assorted materials during the build phase of the Changing Minds with Pick up a Penny project, from anywhere in the country. As one of the North East’s largest recycling plants, they not only care about the environment, they also care passionately about mental health and have shown on numerous occasions their support for Changing Minds with Pick up a Penny. We will look forward to working closely with them over the next few years. Sara Young.
