There’s a girl in Year 6 at the local primary school who was taught ‘dragon breathing’ a few years ago. It’s how Suffolk Mind teach kids 7/11 breathing, which is a technique to calm us down when we’re upset, or worried.

Her mum told me recently that she uses it most weeks on days that she’s a bit anxious about going to school.

There’s another Year 6 girl out there somewhere that hasn’t had that support from Suffolk Mind, and is really struggling to get to school in the mornings. Her learning has been impacted, and she’s even more worried about high school next year.

Suffolk Mind relies on fundraising support for the work we do in schools. And we’d love to do more.

So please sponsor me to pick up the guitar again and learn two new songs from scratch…it’s been a couple of years since I even plucked one string, and before then it was decades. So it will be a real challenge.

Look out for video updates on my progress on Instagram and LinkedIn.
