Team building
Why not combine team building with fundraising, and get a group together to participate in a sporting event or exciting challenge? (A team from Randell Design Group is pictured above taking part in Brighton's Colour Obstacle Rush. Bennett and Game Recruitment also previously did the same event.)
Just a few corporate fundraising ideas for your business include:
- a mini-golf or football tournament
- taking part in our Wear it Blue campaign, during Mental Health Awareness Week in May
- joining the Worthing or Chichester 10K, Brighton Colour Obstacle Rush or London Marathon
- join our own skydive event on June 8th West Sussex Mind | Skydive for West Sussex Mind!
- host a golf day
- Putting a team in for our Mental Elf 5k Fun Run and Walk in Worthing, November 24 2024.
Raffles and Christmas parties
If you fancy something less active, consider having a raffle at a summer social event or at your Christmas party.
Many companies support us with on-going fundraising, such as donating a small amount for each of a specific item sold. We've had a tattoo parlour do this and we also had £1 for every burger meal sold at a pub.
And we’re always grateful for the donation of raffle prizes or other items for our fundraising events.
Sponsorship
Sponsorship is also a good option as it is a mutually beneficial arrangement - meaning funds to help us with mental health support, alongside generating positive PR for your business. We're particularly interested in sponsorship from businesses that share our values and whose work is aligned with ours, such as those in health and well-being.
In addition, the businesses who link up with us often benefit from our mental health awareness workshops and training opportunities.
Payroll giving
Small businesses with employees can also set up payroll giving schemes, a way of enabling regular donations which provides tax benefits for both employers and employees.
Every penny collected helps us to support people in the community with their mental health needs.
