With World Mental Health Day only a few weeks away, we’re getting excited about Tea & Talk.
Tea & Talk is a way to get your friends or colleagues talking about their mental health whilst sharing tea and cake, and raising a bit of money for a good cause at the same time.
You can help us spread the word about World Mental Health Day, on 10 October 2013, by supporting our Tea & Talk campaign and setting up your own fundraising page.
Your Tea & Talk guests – and anyone who can’t attend – can donate on your page and help us continue our important work. The best thing is that 100% of each donation will come straight to us!
