FUNDRAISING.
As a charity, we rely solely on fundraising, donations and small grants in order to deliver our mission of providing grief and mental health peer-to-peer support to individuals from all over the world.
In a time when grief and mental health resources are often out of reach for those who need them most, we are committed to ensuring that our meetings are always free of charge to those who struggle to be heard.
With your efforts and generosity, we remain dedicated to ensuring that this will always be the case.
Your support of The New Normal will always be appreciated.

scott's birthday ride: Lands End to John O'Groats
Instead of something relaxing, Scott has chosen to ride nearly 1,400km from Lands End to John O'Groats in just six days to celebrate his 60th birthday this June!
Raising money for TNN, he shares: “Why? Because I believe that everyone should have a safe space to discuss their mental health… Had I knew about TNN back then, I would have been in touch earlier.”

aran's 50-mile North downs way national trail run
Despite a total climb of 5,600 ft and rough, steep terrain, Aran smashed his challenge in memory of his friend in May 2024!
“TNN’s ethos and peer-to-peer delivery struck a chord with me. I realised that was what I needed back then, and probably now: someone to talk things through with, and realise my emotions and what I was struggling with.”
