Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)

How does the money I raise help?

You’re helping people get the support they need, when they need it. Take a look at What We Do to see exactly the type of support your kindness helps facilitate. 

Do I need permission to fundraise for Herefordshire Mind?

You don’t need permission to fundraise for us as long as you name your event as ‘in aid of Herefordshire Mind’ and not ‘on behalf of Herefordshire Mind’. It is a good idea to let us know about your fundraiser though, so we can support and promote it for you.

Can you provide me with fundraising resources?

Absolutely. You can find downloadable resources such as poster templates, printable bunting, our logos, and sponsorship forms below. Donation tins and buckets can be collected from Heffernan House, HR4 9HN during office hours. We can also provide banners, and balloons at some events subject to availability.

Will I receive any acknowledgement of my fundraising efforts?

Of course. We love to celebrate our supporters. Once your donation reaches us we will send you a thank you and certificate via email or post.

Is there a minimum amount I need to raise?

Not at all. Every amount helps, whether its £5 or £500, you’re making a difference.

Are ‘Mind’ and ‘Herefordshire Mind’ the same thing?

No. We’re part of the national Mind federation but we’re an independent charity, responsible for generating our own income. We rely on our supporters, alongside applying to charitable trusts and foundations to fund our own services. Monies donated to Herefordshire Mind, stay in Herefordshire.
