Every year, 1 in 5 people will experience a mental health problem. Waiting lists for services are long. Stigma stops our colleagues, friends and loved ones from reaching out. We need your help to ensure everyone gets the support they need, when they need it most.
Workplace fundraisers make a big difference. They help us support everyone who needs us, and there are great benefits for you, too. Whether you are a smaller team looking to make a big impact or a larger business wanting to support us as your Charity of Choice, your fundraising efforts will contribute to better mental health for everyone.
Could Mind be your Charity of Choice? This is a commitment from you to us, for a year, six months, or even a quarter, you can fundraise for us any way you like, as frequently as you like, for as long as you choose us. There are no targets or limits to what you can do for us, and all of the money goes straight to supporting better mental health.
To help make it easier for you, we will provide you with:
- Exclusive access to our workplace fundraising hub, including posters, how-to guides and ready-made fundraising ideas.
- A welcome call with your dedicated fundraising contact
- A personalised lunch and learn presentation to inspire and raise awareness
- Access to Mind events and challenges and our training hub to help with any active events
