We rely on donations. And we’re grateful for every penny and for every person who chooses to donate to us.
We appreciate what a big decision it is to donate your money to us, and how important it is you know where that money goes.
We want to be open and clear about how we raise and spend money. Email us at [email protected] if you have any questions about our finances, and we’ll do our best to answer them.
How we raise money
The money we raise comes from lots of different places, because it’s important we don’t only rely on just one source of funding.
This includes:
- Committed giving appeals and donations
- Grants from external organisations and the government
- Money raised during challenge events (like marathons for example)
- Corporate partnerships
- Legacies
- And profit from our retail shops
How we spend money
Of every £1 donated to Mind, 81.5p goes directly towards supporting people with mental health problems and furthering the fight for mental health. The rest goes towards the essential costs of running Mind.
