Supporting us throughout the school year is a great way to engage staff and pupils with our work, whilst raising vital funds through enjoyable fundraising activities.

Whether you’ve supported us before, or you’re still learning more about what we do, we’d love to have you on board!

As a fundraiser, you can help us continue to provide support and education to anyone affected by poor mental health and eating disorders, without judgement or discrimination. Over the year we will respond to over 1250 self and professional referrals for one-to-one direct support for their mental health, as well as offer support and training in both education and professional settings.

In supporting us, you will help us continue to fight for earlier and better treatment for mental health issues, something the team is passionate about. Don’t forget to read our Fundraising Guidelines before you get started.
