Roost Heating Supports Solent Mind with Mayfield Café Transformation
To mark Mental Health Awareness Week 2026, our team swapped boilers for hard hats and teamed up with CC Carpentry to transform the café at Mayfield Garden Centre for Solent Mind – raising £1,365 for materials along the way.
12-Mile Fundraising Challenge
Our intrepid team—Tareq, Christian, Chris, Max, Aidan, and Jack—embarked on a 12-mile walk from Solent Mind’s head office in Southampton to their well-being centre in Winchester. Our route took us through the heart of Hampshire, including Chandlers Ford, Otterbourne, and Compton. We beat our £500 goal and raised £1000 for Solent Mind to boost awareness of the charity’s vital work during Mental Health Awareness Week (May 13th-19th).
