A Guernsey personal trainer has raised more than £8,000 for Guernsey Mind throughout January.

Joe Collenette has spent the 30 days lifting 300,000 kilos, running 300 kilometres, swimming for 300 minutes and doing 3,000 minutes of meditation.

Today (31 January) marked the last part of his journey, with a swim at Cobo Bay.

As well as the money, he hopes it will help with awareness too.

After his own battles with mental health, Joe turned to fitness to improve his state of mind. Now, he says he wants to "give back to the community" by supporting the charity.

Get help and support

There are a number of charities operating in the Channel Islands offering support to those who find themselves in need of help.
