Fundraising for York Mind (Incorporating Our Celebration) Ltd
Story
I am contributing 20% of the sale price of my 'York Mind' card and print bundles to York Mind and encouraging my customers to donate if they'd like to get involved.
York Mind exists in order to promote emotional well-being, recovery from mental ill-health, and independent living. It is a small, local charity which uses donations to continue and develop its mental health services in York and the surrounding areas and help make a real difference to individuals close by who are in need of support.
Some useful figures from York Mind:
£10 will pay for the costs of one of our volunteers for a week. Volunteers are vital to York Mind, and enable us to help many more people than relying on paid staff alone.
£26 will pay for an hour of one-to-one Counselling. York Mind delivers a range of Counselling approaches including CBT, Integrative Counselling and Gestalt Therapy.
£424 will fund monthly Befriending socials for 6 months in York. These informal group gatherings complement the one to one befriending sessions, and can encourage long lasting friendships to form between group members.
£571 pays for the costs of our Peer Support network for a month. We have several groups catering for people of different needs, encouraging clients to share and support each other in a safe space.
