FACE YOUR FEARS WEEK                                          25th September – 2nd October 2011

Anxiety UK know that many people with anxiety struggle to make people understand what it is like to live with anxiety. This event will give participants a chance to experience a tiny percentage of the fear that many live with on a daily basis.  1 in 6 UK adults lives with anxiety and an estimated 37% of UK adults are more anxious than they used to be. Despite the high numbers of people affected by it, anxiety remains something of a ‘taboo’ subject, with many sufferers living in fear of people knowing of their anxiety.  We also want Face Your Fears Week to be a catalyst to encourage people to raise money for individuals who struggle with anxiety disorders, where they have to face their fears every day.

CCBT Limited are proud to be the main sponsor of the event and will also be taking part in the Abseil Challenge.

We wil also be taking part at the launch at Anxiety UK’s Manchester Offices on Monday the 25th. Service users who have overcome their agoraphobia and other conditions using FearFighter™ will be present and we look forward to an important day focussing on recognising the needs of Anxiety UK’s members as well as the thousands of silent sufferers who they represent.

We are very excited and pleased to be part of this initiative which happens just at the time when funding to support charities like Anxiety UK are becoming harder and harder to find.  We need to find the time, resource and funds to support the great work being done by the Charity who are an essential part of the national community and an important advocate for those whose conditions, in many cases, prevent them from having a voice. We are all looking forward to a successful and positive day.

Please go to the Anxiety UK site and donate.  You never know when you may need their help!
