Giving through your celebration is a great way to support us and to help make more people aware of our charity. Whether you are getting married, celebrating a birthday or commemorating an anniversary, we would love to be part of your special occasion.
Ask your friends to make a donation to HEH Mind instead
of wedding or birthday gifts. How many socks and toasters do you really need? You can do this by setting up an online fundraising page through Virgin Money or Just Giving and include the link to this in you invitations. Don’t forget to let us know about your celebrations.
If you are having a reception, birthday party or celebration, you can easily add some extra touches.
• Use HEH Mind coloured balloons (blue, yellow, purple).
• Ask us for some collection tins. These are great for placing next to a bar or buffet for loose change.
• Raise some extra money by asking people to guess the weight of the cake, the winner receives a small prize. Just remember to weigh the cake before you eat it.
If you would like to discuss ideas on how we could be part of your celebrations contact our Fundraising Team on [email protected] or 07741 657105.
