Whether you’re getting married, celebrating a birthday, marking an anniversary or bringing people together for a special occasion, you can make your celebration even more meaningful by raising funds for Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Mind.

1 in 4 of us will experience a mental health problem in any given year. No one in our community should have to face a mental health challenge alone. By asking for donations, hosting a fundraising activity or dedicating part of your celebration to LLR Mind, you can help us provide local support, raise awareness and challenge stigma across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.

Weddings

Share the love on your special day by supporting mental health in your local community. Instead of traditional favours, you could make a donation to LLR Mind and let your guests know their presence has helped make a difference.

  • Ask guests to donate to LLR Mind instead of giving wedding gifts.
  • Set up an online fundraising page and include the details in your invitations.
  • Add a QR code to your order of service, table cards or venue signage.
  • Hold a collection during your reception, speeches or evening celebration.

Whatever you decide to do and if you need any support in your fundraising, we would love to hear from you. You can email us on comms@llrmind.org

Birthdays

Make the magic of your birthday last a little longer by asking friends, family and colleagues to support LLR Mind. Whether you’re planning a big party, a quiet gathering or a milestone birthday, your celebration can help more people access support when they need it most.

  • Ask for donations instead of presents.
  • Create an online birthday fundraiser and share it with your guests.
  • Set yourself a birthday challenge, such as walking, running or cycling a chosen distance.
  • Invite guests to share messages of support and encouragement for better mental health on Facebook.

Tell us about your plans by emailing us comms@llrmind.org and we will support you on your fundraising journey to make a difference.
