Your support will help raise awareness for mental health in schools, inspiring a young generation to engage with the issues directly affecting them. It will help start important conversations and inspire other schools to join the fight. And it will help your students know that their mental health is a big priority for you.
This page will take you through your whole fundraising journey:
We are here to support you on your fundraising journey every step of the way. Whatever the question may be, Bath Mind’s fundraising team are happy to help. Simply email [email protected].
We believe no one should have to face a mental health problem alone. That’s why we create trusted and verified information about mental health, and support people through our services and resources. It’s why we are part of a network of local Minds across England and Wales who provide bespoke mental health services to suit their community’s needs.
Put your Art Attack hat on and get creative for your local Mind charity. You can organise an afternoon of learning a new art form, host a crafts fair and sell handmade crafts with proceeds going to Bath Mind, host an art competition, or simply paint for fun.
Organise an event where students are encouraged to wear bright and colourful outfits. You could make it more fun with a photo booth, colourful accessories, and even a fashion show.
Satisfy your sweet tooth and make an impact with a classic bake sale in aid of Bath Mind. From rainbow cupcakes to multi-coloured cookies, you can get as colourful and creative as you want to shine a light on mental health.
Each year can decorate their hallway using vibrant colours, inspiring messages, and artwork to raise donations. You can even turn this into a competition between year groups.
Host a carnival or fun fair with games, food stalls, an activities. You can set up easy DIY carnival games such as a ring toss and offer activities such as face painting. You can charge for ticket sales and for participation in activities.
Decide the activity. However, you raise money, make it bright and shine a light on mental health. Why not download our fundraising guide for inspiration?
Set a date. You can go bright whenever works for your school, but if you’d like some inspiration, why not link your fundraising with an awareness day or week, such as Children’s Mental Health Week which is running from 3rd to 9th February 2025.
Here are some ideas – you can use ticket sales, sponsorship forms, collection tins, an online fundraising page like JustGiving or display a QR code at the venue.
We can provide posters, banners, flags, bunting, and collection boxes. Email [email protected] to order.
Promote, promote, promote! Visit the national Mind charity’s fundraising hub where you can find useful toolkits, posters, and templates. They can also provide an assembly presentation that explains more about Mind and young people’s mental health. This is a great way to promote the cause and get the word out about your fundraising. Email [email protected] for help.
