Corporate Opportunities

Last year we had amazing support from our incredible local businesses and organisations. We would like to invite you to get involved in our Mental Elf Festive Fun Run again this year.   It’s a great opportunity for festive teambuilding, with discounted group tickets available.

We also have a range of corporate sponsorship packages available.  Sponsorships enable us to minimise our event costs, meaning more of the funds raised can go into providing much needed community mental health support.  

How better to show your employees and customers that their wellbeing matters while helping a local mental health charity make a real difference in your community.

If you would like to sponsor or have any questions, please email us at Comms@llrmind.org. We would love to talk to you about how you can support us.

We want to say a big thank you to Lancashire Mind who created the original Mental Elf Fun Run concept. We are super excited to grow this event year on year in Leicester.

Please note: this Mental Elf Festive Fun Run is a fundraising event organised by LLR Mind. The Mental ElfTM blog is a separate initiative run independently, providing short, evidence-based summaries of new mental health research.
