Glasgow law firm staff have raised over £1600 for a mental health charity. 

Team members from Wright, Johnston & Mackenzie LLP (WJM) have been getting involved in physical activities to raise funds for the Scottish Association for Mental Health's (SAMH) Step Up For SAMH campaign.

Staff from the St Vincent Street office, as well as those in Edinburgh, Inverness, Dunfermline and Dunblane, took part.

They ran, swam and cycled across two weeks for a total of 204 hours and 32 minutes, which was logged on the Strava fitness app.

Colleagues then enjoyed a well-earned break to talk about mental health and well-being, recognising the mental health support that SAMH provides and the importance of encouraging such discussions.

Alison Marshall, Partner WJM, said: “We’re delighted to be able to support SAMH in their work across Scotland and in our community, giving support to those that need it.

"Their knowledge, skill and will to help others is more important than ever.

“Thankfully, mental health is being taken increasingly more seriously across the board now, and promoting good mental health in the workplace is an incredibly important part of this progress.

“We know SAMH does wonderful work and it’s a pleasure to support them. I am so grateful to the Glasgow team for how much effort they’ve put into this campaign.”
