People who need our help with their mental health are often parents, grandparents and carers - which is why we are developing great relationships with schools and nurseries across West Sussex. As a result, funds have been raised for West Sussex Mind through a mixture of dedicated events and one-off activities.
With so many wonderful things happening inside schools, the fundraising possibilities are endless – and can be stand-alone or linked to the curriculum or PHSE work.
Fundraising activities could include:
- Cake and bake sales
- Non-uniform days
- Sponsored walks
- Collections at sports days and/or concerts
- Competitions linked to learning including times tables and spelling bees
- Donating a percentage of profits from Christmas, Easter or summer fairs.
We also have a presentation available for schools. The presentation is a resource for teachers and aimed at children 11 to 16 years old, it covers who we are as a charity, what mental health is, how to maintain your mental wellbeing, and where to go for support.
