We were delighted to be chosen as Arcadis’ Charity of the Year, this year. Arcadis are a global design, engineering and management consulting company and as well as fundraising for Mind, they are keen to raise awareness about mental health issues throughout their organisation.

Arcadis are planning to raise over £100,000 for Mind this year as well as organising training in a vast range of mental health topics throughout the organisation.

We’re thrilled to be working with WHSmith for 2017 as one of their National Charity Partners for their 225th anniversary celebrations, along with Cancer Research UK and National Literacy Trust.

This major partnership comprises staff and customer fundraising, alongside invaluable volunteering and awareness raising to promote understanding of mental health.

Flight Centre, the world’s number one travel agent to Australia, has announced Mind as its 2017 charity partner.

Pledging a fundraising target of £100,000, Flight Centre employees will take part in a number of fundraising activities for us throughout the year, including the Royal Parks Half Marathon, Three Peaks Challenge, Ride London, Thames Path Challenge, and Mind Hikes in The Lake District. Flight Centre will match all money raised pound for pound.

Cinema group ODEON have gone to great lengths for Mind, raising over £200,000 in 2016/17. Through a combination of company initiatives and staff led fundraising, ODEON went above and beyond to get the partnership off to a flying start. They have also pledged to outdo themselves in the second year of the partnership by raising £230,000.

Employees have come up with a whole host of fundraising ideas, including poster sales, silver screen raffles all the way to Beauty and the Beast princess days. Their creativity knows no limits and has been at the heart of the partnership.
