Metro Bank Asset Finance Team Raises Over £800 for Mental Health
大都会银行资产融资团队为心理健康筹集了超过800英镑的资金
The UK's community bank, Metro Bank, gives every colleague a Day to Amaze – essentially a paid day off to support a local charity or good cause. This past weekend, colleagues from Metro Bank's Asset Finance team laced up their boots and embarked on a challenging 25km hike through the picturesque (and surprisingly muddy) Surrey Hills, for Beyond, a youth mental health charity supporting individuals by providing resources, education, and advocacy to improve mental health services and awareness across the country.
英国社区银行Metro Bank为每位同事提供一天的 “Amaze日” ——本质上是带薪休假，以支持当地的慈善机构或公益事业。上周末，大都会银行资产融资团队的同事们系好靴子，踏上了艰难的25公里徒步之旅，穿越风景如画（而且出人意料的泥泞）萨里山。Beyond是一家青年心理健康慈善机构，通过提供资源、教育和宣传来支持个人，以改善全国各地的心理健康服务和意识。
Despite the sizzling temperatures, the team's spirits remained high as they climbed hills, waded through a flooded path in makeshift wellies, and even enjoyed a sing along. The hike, which saw the team battling the elements and turning puddles into pools of laughter raised over £800 to help the charity continue its vital work in supporting mental health.
尽管气温很高，但团队在爬山、穿着临时雨靴在被洪水淹没的小路上涉水，甚至一起唱歌时精神依然高涨。在这次徒步旅行中，团队与各种因素作斗争，将水坑变成欢声笑语，筹集了超过800英镑的资金，以帮助该慈善机构继续开展支持心理健康的重要工作。
"It's not every day you see a group of finance professionals singing their way through a muddy flood in the middle of Surrey," said Metro Bank's Director of Asset Finance, Nova Everidge. "But when it's for a cause as important as mental health, every step, every splash, and every song was worth it. Well done to our team for their generosity and efforts in raising funds for such a deserving charity."
大都会银行资产融资董事Nova Everidge表示：“并不是每天都能看到一群金融专业人士在萨里中部的泥泞洪水中唱歌。”“但是，当是为了像心理健康这样重要的事业时，每一个步骤、每一次花费和每首歌都是值得的。我们的团队为这样一个当之无愧的慈善机构筹集资金所做的慷慨和努力，干得好。”
Beyond's CEO, Louisa Rose said "Beyond are so grateful to Metro Bank for raising these funds via their sponsored walk. This money is crucial in getting our support into schools to help with the mental health crisis affecting young people. Beyond are doing all we can to make sure every child has access to the right mental health support at the right moment."
Beyond的首席执行官路易莎·罗斯说：“Beyond非常感谢大都会银行通过赞助的徒步活动筹集了这些资金。这笔钱对于为学校提供支持以帮助应对影响年轻人的心理健康危机至关重要。Beyond 正在尽一切努力确保每个孩子在正确的时机获得正确的心理健康支持。”
