Supporting Mind Charity: Our Cyber Weekend Initiative
A recent study commissioned for Mental Health Awareness Week revealed concerning statistics about the mental health challenges faced by painters and decorators in the UK. A significant 72% of professional painters are dealing with mental health issues related to their work, a notable increase from the 40% recorded in our initial initiative back in 2021.
Recognising the impact of another challenging year, we at Tikkurila UK/ Valtti Ltd are committed to making a positive contribution. This Cyber Weekend (24th-27th November), for every sale made, we will be donating £1 to Mind (via Work for Good). This marks our third consecutive year supporting this vital cause.
The numbers are alarming: 56% of painters and decorators experience stress, anxiety, or depression every month, and 20% endure these symptoms on a weekly basis. What's even more troubling is that 84% of these individuals don't feel comfortable talking about their mental health, with only 11% opening up to friends or family.
Our commitment to Mind is rooted in the understanding that mental health struggles are often challenging to discuss openly. Mind provides essential services and guidance for anyone in need of support, fostering a compassionate and understanding community.
In light of this, we aim to extend financial backing to this cause and a charity we believe is playing an important and vital role, offering services and guidance for anyone who needs some support.
