The University of Cumbria has launched a fundraiser in aid of the 2021 BRIT Challenge that supports young adult mental health. Coinciding with Mental Health Awareness Week, the university is asking its students and staff to form teams and log 2,021 miles whilst raising vital funds for mental health charities. Activities to reach the 2,021-mile target can take many forms and take into account the abilities of those participating. For instance, miles that people can log can range from hand-cycling and household chores like hoovering to paddle-boarding, kayaking and more traditional forms of exercises such as walking, jogging and swimming. The events are in aid of the BRIT 2021 Challenge where universities and colleges host their own inclusive feel-good fundraising events to improve people’s mental health and fitness whilst raising money for the British Inspiration Trust (BRIT) and its charity partners.

As the industry reopens, the DMO is supporting a recruitment drive and also implementing a number of initiatives to assist businesses with their staffing.
