Dan sets a £5,000 target for Santa Fun Run
GP Dr Dan Petrie, founder of MindSpace Stamford, is welcoming donations for his family’s sponsorship appeal ahead of the town’s Santa Fun Run.
The personal fundraiser was launched last month (October) with a target of £5,000 to help increase the hours that MindSpace can open its doors and it quickly picked up numerous generous donations.

How the funds will be used
Next year Dan’s wish is to be able to open the MindSpace premises every day for most of the day – and especially the evenings when people are struggling more.
