Could you make Suffolk Mind your Charity of the Year 2024?
Choosing us as your Charity of the Year (or COTY, as we say for short), has a number of benefits, from bringing your team together, to demonstrating your Corporate Social Responsibility.
Julie Long, our Fundraising Manager, shares her top five benefits of making Suffolk Mind your COTY:
- Suffolk Mind is independent
Although we are affiliated with national Mind, we don’t receive any funding from them. So, we are reliant on our own fundraising income, including from our COTY partners. - All the money we raise stays in Suffolk
As we are independent, our services are tailored to support people across Suffolk. So, all the income we generate, including from our COTY partners, goes directly towards supporting mental health in our county. - We support people across the Mental Health Continuum
Our services support every level of wellbeing. Not only do we help those who are experiencing mental ill-health, we also raise awareness of mental health through our Resources hub, our training for schools, and our workplace wellbeing brand The Mental Health Toolkit. - Fundraising is good for you!
Supporting a charity can help you meet several of your Emotional Needs, including community, meaning and purpose, attention and achievement. By meeting your needs in this way, you can improve your own mental health. - We say ‘thank you’
Suffolk Mind take care to thank all of our supporters. This includes showcasing our fundraisers on social media, giving them a dedicated space on our website, and thanking COTY partners through our training packages.
Feeling inspired?
If you’d like to choose Suffolk Mind as your Charity of the Year 2024, please get in touch with our Fundraising team.
You can also set up a Corporate Giving page on our website. If you do, our team will be in contact with you soon to help you make the most of your fundraising efforts.
Finally, thank you again to everyone who has supported us in 2023!
