By taking part in 27 27 you’re raising money and awareness for student mental health and helping us be there for everyone who needs us. Your fundraising powers our helplines, information and support services, and drives our fight to make sure no one has to face a mental health problem alone.

You can sign up by clicking here. Remember to check your email after registering to create your GivePenny page and complete your sign up!
Once you receive your first donation on your GivePenny fundraising page, we will send you a free 27 27 T‑shirt to the address you signed up with. Please allow up to 10 working days from your first donation for this to arrive.
Online fundraising is the easiest way to fundraise, and we recommend using GivePenny to get the best 27 27 experience. You will set up a page when you sign up here. Remember to check your email after registering to complete your sign up!
The challenge starts on the 1 March 2022. You’ll have until the 27 March to complete your 27 miles.
We recommend using apps like Strava as great tools for tracking your miles. You can link this up to your GivePenny page too! If you don’t have an app to track your miles, you’re still very welcome to join in the challenge. A rough, tech-free way to track your run is to remember that running a mile could take on average between 10-12 minutes. Of course, that will depend on terrain and running experience, so don’t worry if it takes you longer.
If you have any other questions that aren't answered here, please check the GivePenny knowledge base or check the Mind 27 27 FAQs
We’re so proud that you’re up for the challenge and joining the fight for student mental health.
