Gratitude Games
The Gratitude Games will be the centre-piece of our fundraising programme and will become a major, annual, multi-sports event, open to serving and retired members of the emergency response sector (and their families) with mass-participation events also open to the public.
The Gratitude Games has been created to provide a national campaign that thanks all of our Emergency Responders and raises vital funds to support their mental health.
THE GRATITUDE GAMES WILL:
- Generate funds to establish a measurable improvement in the state of mental health in the Emergency Responders sector
- Raise awareness of the mental health challenges faced by Emergency Responders
- Recognise the daily commitment the Emergency Responders make in serving the public
- Provide a platform to improve physical and mental wellbeing and bring Emergency Responders together
