SuffolkForward Network
A unique do-good, feel-good club that provides you with inspiration, tools and opportunities to help you put wellbeing at the heart of your organisation, your family and your community.
“Do good”, because you’re supporting Suffolk Mind. “Feel good” because you’ll gain information, skills, and content to help look after yourself and the people around you.
Introduction
It’s a challenging time for everyone at the moment, and we want to be able to help as many people as we can. That’s why we’ve created the SuffolkForward Network.
SuffolkForward is a professional networking club that encourages lively and informative discussion around mental health, enabling us to look after ourselves and the people around us better.
Our mission is to make Suffolk the best place in the world for talking about and taking care of mental health. Right now, that means:
- Making access to our counselling available for those who can’t afford to go private
or wait on an NHS waiting list - Providing schools with our training for teachers and tools for children
- Giving access to The Mental Health Toolkit – our wellbeing training – to as many families, communities and individuals across Suffolk as possible
To do all those things, and much, much more, we need to raise more money than we ever have. And we need your help.
By joining this network, you not only support fundraising but also expand the vital conversations which need to take place around mental health.
Jon Neal, Chief Executive of Suffolk Mind
SuffolkForward Network is a unique professional networking club based in Suffolk. It’s designed to enable like-minded professionals to come together to learn more about how to take care of themselves and others, while making a positive and vital contribution to our county.
This is a networking club with a difference, enabling people to work together to support each other, while also raising funds to support the work of Suffolk Mind.
100% of your membership fee supports our mental health services in Suffolk.
By joining SuffolkForward, you are demonstrating your commitment to supporting and raising awareness of mental health in the county.
As a member, you are actively contributing to our ongoing mission to make
Suffolk the best place in the world for talking about and taking care of mental health.
Suffolk Mind supports thousands of people every year through our services, including community training, GreenCare, and our reception line.
Every year, the fundraising generated by the SuffolkForward Network will be used where it is most needed. For example, it could support fully-funded counselling
sessions, or expand our GreenCare service to help more people.
The funds could also to enable our service for children and young people to teach more pupils in Suffolk some practical ways to look after their mental health, as they move through primary and secondary school, and beyond into further education.
Together, we can create a happier and healthier county and nurture more resilient people to join our workplaces.
