Company Support

Regardless of whether you work for a small local or international company - you can support Brent Mind.

Donations from businesses are always welcome and there are many ways to do this:

  • You can launch your own employee fundraising programme. For example, Payroll Giving is a simple, tax efficient way for employees to donate to Brent Mind.
  • You might choose Brent Mind for a company donation.
  • You can nominate Brent Mind as your company's Charity of the Year.
  • Sponsorship opens up new commercial opportunities for your company in the community.
  • Donate shares. Since April 1, 2000 companies can get corporation tax relief for gifts to charity of shares, securities and other types of investment. This relief is in addition to relief from Corporation Tax on capital gains on gifts to charity of shares, securities and other assets.
  • Invite Brent Mind to give presentations to your staff and customers about how employers can help employees with mental health problems. 1 in 4 people in the UK experiences a mental illness - that's a quarter of the population! Stress at work is a key factor.
  • If you can't give financial support, why not provide your company's services to Brent Mind? If you're running a maintenance company, we always need some help and improvements in our service properties. If you're a financial company, why not help us with some consultancy? If you're a software company, why not donate some software or provide our staff or service users with some computer training?

By helping Brent Mind your company will have an opportunity:

  • to demonstrate that your company has its roots in the local community
  • to raise awareness of your company's commitment to alleviating the stigma attached to mental illness;
  • for your main decision makers to attend Brent Mind and Mind events;
  • for your employees to get involved;
  • for positive media coverage that comes through a partnership with a charity;
  • to raise your company's profile to a range of your customers and suppliers;
  • have your company's support acknowledged in Brent Mind's publicity materials.

For more information, or to discuss any of these opportunities, please contact Brent Mind's Chief Executive, Daniel Cartwright on 020 7604 5177 or email daniel.cartwright@brentmind.org.uk
