To mark the end of May's Mental Health Awareness Month, Rigorous are excited and proud to announce that as of 30th May 2019, 10% of all proceeds from our WordPress support packages are donated to The Blurt Foundation — the social enterprise dedicated to helping those affected by depression.
Why The Blurt Foundation?
Depression affects 1 in 4 people in the UK at some point in their lives. It doesn't discriminate by age, gender, or profession. The tech industry, in particular, has seen rising awareness of mental health challenges — long hours, isolation (especially in remote work), and the pressure to always be 'on' can take a real toll.
The Blurt Foundation does incredible work raising awareness, providing practical support through their BuddyBox subscription service, and creating resources that help people understand and manage depression. Their approach is compassionate, stigma-free, and genuinely helpful.
Walking the Walk
At Rigorous Digital, we talk a lot about doing things differently. Donating a portion of our revenue isn't just a PR exercise — it's part of who we are. We believe that businesses have a responsibility to contribute positively to the world, not just extract from it.
This commitment sits alongside our other values: fairness, honesty, and plain speaking. We want our clients to know that when they choose to work with us, they're also supporting a cause that makes a real difference to people's lives.
How You Can Help
If you'd like to support The Blurt Foundation directly, visit their website at blurtitout.org. You can donate, subscribe to a BuddyBox, or simply share their resources with someone who might need them. Sometimes the smallest gesture makes the biggest difference.
