April 2025: Thank you from Suffolk Mind

We’d like to say a big THANK YOU to all of these fantastic businesses and individuals who have helped us raise vital funds for Suffolk Mind this month.

Broadway

Thank you to Broadway Colours, who took part in the Business Fives charity football tournament in Norwich in March! They had a stellar match and although they didn’t win, they generously made a donation of £250 to Suffolk Mind. Thank you so much!

Glowcroft

Thank you to Glowcroft, who have raised an amazing £1,398 through a variety of fundraising activities this year. This could help run our Helpline for a week AND provide six fully-funded counselling sessions for someone in need. Thank you so much!

Millie Beckwith

On 8 April, a team of first year business students from the University of Suffolk ran a wellness retreat, Wellnest, for an assignment to raise awareness of student mental health and the importance of self-care. They organised a virtual reality tent to take attendees to their safe space, a craft table to think about gratitude, and provided wellness goodies to evoke a feeling of calm through the senses. A big thank you to Millie, Lee, Kacy, and Eli for all their hard work in raising a wonderful £195 to help us continue our work of supporting Suffolk’s mental health.

Quay Church

At the end of March, Quay Church in Woodbridge put on a community fair to bring people together and raise money for Suffolk Mind. Members of the church and the community raised an incredible £671.78 combined. This could help us to deliver two Life Hacks for Young Minds sessions for large groups of young people to learn more about taking care of their mental health as well as providing five funded counselling sessions for someone in need of support. Thank you Jane, Kevin, and the whole team for their hard work in organising a successful event. 

Robert Fletcher

Thank you to Robert Fletcher and the team for organising the Grundisburgh Coffee Morning on 5 April. The team and community came together to raise a fantastic £225 for our charity. These funds could enable us to provide four funded counselling sessions for someone in need, or keep our Helpline running for over a day, potentially reaching 150 people looking for advice, information, or immediate support.

Sandra and Wayne Price

Thank you to Sandra and Wayne Price who ran the Brighton Marathon for us in early April and raised an amazing £867.13 including Gift Aid! This amount of money means our CFYP team could go into two schools and deliver our Life Hacks for Young Minds assembly to a group of students, helping them consider specific challenges to their age group and giving them support to stay well.
