We can’t do what we do without support from people like you!
With reduced funding, Brecon and District Mind needs your help now more than ever. We provide the crucial need for Mental Health support across South Powys.
Your contribution directly allows us to be ‘here when you need us to help you manage your mental health and wellbeing’ to ensure that no one in our local community has to face their mental health issue alone. Whether through donations or fundraising, your support ensures we can continue delivering the vital services that so many depend on. To find out more about what support services we offer, click here.
We are incredibly grateful to all of our donors and fundraisers – without you, none of this would be possible. Every contribution, big or small, has a significant impact on a local, independent charity like ours.
Here are some of the ways you can get involved:
- Donate – want to keep it simple and donate to us?
Head to our donate page - Do your own fundraising – want to set yourself a challenge or organise an event? Always wanted to do a skydive, bog snorkelling or organise a Christmas party?
- Fundraise with colleagues – want to hold a dress down or zero waste day in work?
- Make Brecon and District Mind your company’s Charity of the Year – want to go that extra mile and commit to activities throughout the year to raise funds and awareness of Brecon and District Mind?
- Leave a gift in your will – want to help us deliver our services for future generations?
- Remember a loved one – donate or fundraise in their name, such as a funeral collection.
There are lots of ways to fundraise and we love hearing your great ideas. If you’d like to get involved, contact [email protected] or 01874 611529 and we can support you to make a difference in our community.
