We work together with a range of businesses, in all shapes and sizes, to help delivery mutually beneficial partnerships. Here are some of our other partners who have helped to support us.
In 2019, customers and colleagues of Bill’s Restaurants chose Mental Health UK for the restaurant group’s first ever charity partner. Each season, one item from their menu will include a 50p donation to Mental Health UK from each sale. Bill’s are also supporting staff events and fundraising in their restaurants across the UK.
37 graduates from Colliers UK, real estate and property management firm, cycled from London to Amsterdam in September 2019 in support of Mental Health UK. They fundraised and trained in the summer leading up to the cycle and smashed their original target of £17,500 and raised nearly £22,000.
Communications experts Paragon Customer Communications International Limited chose Mental Health UK as their charity partner for 2019 and 2020. With a dedicated team of Community Champions in sites across the UK, staff are aiming to raise £15,000 each year with their annual company raffle set to be the flagship event. They are also keen to increase awareness and understanding across the business with Mental Health Awareness and Mental Health First Aid training.
Mental Health UK and Rough Runner have joined forces in 2020 to improve the nation’s wellbeing. Rough Runner combines physical challenges, teamwork and fun with obstacles that you’ll only ever have seen on game shows. The bespoke obstacle course is based on well-loved shows like Gladiators and Ninja Warrior! Mental Health UK will be at Rough Runner events throughout the year and Rough Runner will communicate the importance of mental health awareness with participants.
In 2018 we were selected to be charity partners for the first This Can Happen event, lead by our ambassadors Jonny Benjamin MBE and Neil Laybourn. We are happy to continue our role as partner for 2019.
The event is focused on improving workplace mental health and is the largest ever gathering of organisations in the UK focused on mental health. In 2018 it was attended by HRH Duke of Cambridge and leading UK businesses such as; GlaxoSmithKline, Goldman Sachs, Accenture, Direct Line, Allen and Overy, and Bright Futures.
