I’m part of a corporate organisation looking to fundraise…
By partnering with a small local charity like SECE Mind you can help make a real difference to the lives of people in our community. Around 1 in 4 of us will suffer with mental health issues at some points in our lives – this could be yourself, your colleagues, your friends or loved ones.
Supporting us will help meet your corporate and social responsibility needs as a company. Through engaging with your employees, customers and other stakeholders, you'll see a positive impact on everyone involved – knowing that all your efforts are going to help people in mental distress.
There are lots of ways we can work with you – from organising team and personal challenges for your staff, to offering mental health training.
If you'd like to talk to us about how we could work together, please give us a call on 01702 601123 or email fundraising@secemind.org.uk
