A 24-hour Liveathon to fund a year of local mental health and wellbeing support

 

This January, we’re raising funds to deliver Wellbeing Wednesdays at the Citizen Hub in St Neots for a full year.

We’re launching with a 24-hour Liveathon on Blue Monday, turning one of the toughest days of the year into something positive, practical and community-led.

 

This is about St Neots showing up for itself.

​

What are Wellbeing Wednesdays?

Wellbeing Wednesdays are our weekly health and resilience day at the Citizen Hub.

They are not a one-off event or a short-term project.
They are a consistent, trusted rhythm in the town where people can drop in, reset and rebuild.

 

People come for different reasons:

Because money is tight and they need a warm breakfast

Because they’re lonely and need community around them

Because anxiety is rising and they need someone to talk to

Because they want to feel healthier but don’t know where to start

Because they care for others and have nothing left for themselves

 

Wellbeing Wednesdays give people:
A place to be.
A place to breathe.
A place to take the next step.

What your donation funds

 

This Liveathon is raising money to fund one full year of Wellbeing Wednesdays at Citizen Hub St Neots.

 

Your support helps deliver weekly activity including:

Free school meal breakfast clubs

Community meals

One-to-one counselling

Mental health and confidence programmes

Nutritionist-led support

Health and wellbeing activity shaped around local need

 

Every element is designed to reduce anxiety, build resilience and prevent crisis, not just respond once things have gone too far.

​

Every pound you give becomes a week of wellbeing for someone in your town.

 

Why a Liveathon on Blue Monday?

Blue Monday is often labelled the hardest day of the year. Winter fatigue, money worries, isolation and stress all collide.

For many people in St Neots, this isn’t a headline. It’s real life.

​

So on 19 January, we’re doing something different.

 

The Citizen Hub will become a live studio for 24 hours, streaming conversations, creativity, lived experience and moments of connection from the heart of the community.

​

Every session helps fund a full year of wellbeing support.

This is a community fundraiser and a community statement.
We are choosing to show up for each other.

 

Why Citizen Hub?

 

Citizen Hub exists because communities deserve better than being passed from service to service like a maze with no map.

We build trusted, neutral spaces where people can walk in, be welcomed, and leave with real next steps.

In our first year in St Neots, the Hub has:

Engaged thousands of local residents

Supported hundreds into skills, support and employment pathways

Built trust as a place that feels human, safe and accessible

 

The Liveathon is co-hosted by Alex Hughes, co-founder of Citizen Hub, and Danielle Bridge, CEO of Black Minds Matter UK and founder of ABC Life Support, bringing lived experience and national expertise into a local space.

 

What success looks like

​

Over the next year, success looks like:

More people feeling less alone

Families with a stable weekly anchor when life feels heavy

Earlier mental health support instead of crisis intervention

Stronger routines around nutrition, confidence and wellbeing

A Hub that is open, trusted and growing

None of this happens without community backing.
