GETTING INVOLVED WITH FUNDRAISINGHow can you help with the vital fundraising we do? The answer is that you can get involved in a number of ways, and the great news is that they are all FANTASTIC FUN! Volunteer to help:- We always need help with all areas of our fundraising operation. Do you have spare time, and good written skills? Help with making applications to charitable trusts is always needed. Maybe you'd like to meet a few new friendly people and help with the running of one of our events? We often need people to help out welcoming guests, selling raffle tickets, running a bar etc. Perhaps you would like to set up your own fundraising event, or group? Or maybe participate in a run or walk? We can help with organising your own JustGiving webpage, publicity and fundraising materials. Whatever you'd like to do, please visit the volunteering section of this site for more details. Get your company involved:- It's always great fun to do some fundraising activities with your colleagues, and again, we're here to help if you need us. Maybe your work for a company who choose a charity to support every year and you'd like to nominate York Mind? Many companies will offer to match your fundraising total, and many will allow time off work to participate in events. We are very happy to publicise the support we get from companies, so please get in touch if you would like us to speak with the appropriate person. Get your friends involved:- Some of our most successful events have been social gatherings, such as coffee mornings and wine & cheese evenings which are easy to arrange, and great fun to do. If you are a member of a club or other organisation, we'd love to hear from you and help you arrange a fundraising event for your members. Buy tickets etc:- If you don't have the time to spare getting involved in the organisation of an event don't panic! You will help us enormously by just buying a ticket and coming along to one of our events. Whether it's a table of 10 for our prestigious Valentine Ball, or a fiver to attend a concert, your support is very much appreciated, and we look forward to meeting you! We also have items to sell from time to time, such as items of celebrity memorabilia, or our fantastic calendar. Please check our Facebook page regularly or get in touch to find out what is available. Make a donation:- Please visit our "Donate Now" page and just follow the instructions! Alternatively, you can now make an immediate donation on your mobile phone...simply text "OURC22 £1" to 70070 to make a gift of £1, and simply change the value in the message if you want to give more. (So a donation of £20 would be "OURC22 £20" etc). These text donations can also be gift-aided, so that we can claim another 25% THANK YOU!
