Good morning readers!
To date you have dug deep and donated £56,024 to help nine inspiring mental health charities. With gift aid and match funding added, that brings the running total to a wonderful £68,998.
That’s double the amount donated by this point in last year’s appeal.
Thank you!
We’d also like to say thank you to a few famous faces...
Sir Keir Starmer, QC, human rights barrister, former Director of Public Prosecutions, Head of the Crown Prosecution Service and all round important person showed his support. Thank you!
Mental health matters to us all. I'm backing #GuardianChristmas appeal @CentreforMH

Painter and sculptor Maggi Hambling CBE left a message:
Congratulations to CoolTan Arts on this new article and to the Guardian Campaign. CoolTan heals and in that process produces extraordinary works of art – that is why I am a proud to be a patron.
Thank you!
It’s brilliant to get so much support – let us know if we have missed something, and of course, you can keep the donations coming here.
