CMP Products Gets On It’s Bike For Anxious Minds

Staff at the leading manufacturer of cable glands, cleats and accessories, CMP Products got on their bikes and pedalled for passion for mental health charity, Anxious Minds this week – raising £4359.81 during a non-stop 36-hour cycle challenge.

The static bike challenge took place in the main reception of the Cramlington-based businesses headquarters and saw approximately 100 members of staff take part in the challenge, with some employees choosing to do more than one time slot.

Leanne Branfoot, CMP Products’ Human Resources Advisor and fellow Culture Champion, said: “We support a local charity every year and for 2024 / 25 there was an overwhelming desire to support a mental health charity that is really making a difference in the region.”

“The work Anxious Minds has done with individuals in the northeast over the last ten years has been truly astonishing and we hope the £25,000 we’re aiming to raise over the course of 12-months will provide much needed support to ensure they continue delivering support when and where it’s needed.”

Anxious Minds was founded in 2015 stemming from the CEO’s personal experiences with PTSD, anxiety and depression. Since then, it’s delivered 107,899 counselling and support group sessions supporting children, adults, and veterans. Its services include support groups, therapy sessions, helplines, workshops and recovery centres, as well as online resources for anyone with anxiety disorders or other mental health conditions.

Edward Dean, Anxious Minds’ CEO, said: “I would like to give a huge thank you to all the wonderful staff and Managers at CMP who have taken part in the bike ride challenge and to all the friends and families who have helped in supporting Anxious Minds by sponsoring the event. I popped along to CMP on day one and it was heart-warming to meet a few of those who were taking part, all armed with enthusiasm, energy and goodwill and all of whom are a credit to your organisation”.

“Every pound raised by CMP for Anxious Minds is a step toward brighter futures and stronger mental health in the Northeast. Together, we’re changing lives, one contribution at a time.”

To date, CMP Products has now raised £14,173.13 of its £25,000 target and has already set its sights on planning their next fundraiser for Anxious Minds. Support the cause via this link: https://www.supportmentalhealth.co.uk/teams/cmp-products
