Fundraise for

BMMUK

Bake something nice, host a thing, run somewhere! Lift heavy for us!

However you choose to fundraise, you’ll be helping Black African, Black Caribbean and Black mixed heritage communities get the information and support they need to understand their mental health.

Mental health can still be hard to talk about in our communities. When you fundraise for us, you start that conversation with the people around you. The money you raise helps people recognise when something isn’t right, find culturally appropriate support, and move through the mental health system with more choice and confidence. It also backs our work to change statutory mental health services.

  • Take on a personal challenge, from a run to a sponsored silence.

  • Host an event: a quiz, a dinner, a talk, a night out.
