Celebrate with Student Minds
If you’ve got an important event coming up like a birthday, graduation or wedding and you’re not sure what you’d like as a gift, why not celebrate by asking your friends and family to put their money towards supporting a cause that matters to you, and make a donation to Student Minds instead?
Here’s what to do:
1. If you've got a Facebook account, go to the fundraisers page
If you're not a Facebook user, you can set up a JustGiving page instead
2. Reach out to people and ask them to donate
3. Let us know how it went
Here’s what to do:
1. If you've got a Facebook account, go to the fundraisers page
- Pick Student Minds as your charity
- Follow the steps it takes you through to set up a page. It will ask you how much you want to raise and when the fundraiser will last until. If it’s for your birthday, you’ll be able to set up a specific ‘birthday fundraiser’.
- Add a description for your page that lets people know why you are supporting Student Minds and why the charity is important to you.
- Invite your friends and family.
If you're not a Facebook user, you can set up a JustGiving page instead
- Add a description to your page that lets people know what you’re celebrating and why you are supporting Student Minds.
- Set a fundraising target that seems realistic to you.
2. Reach out to people and ask them to donate
- Make sure to explain why student mental health is a cause you believe to be important.
- Don’t forget to add a link to your donation page.
3. Let us know how it went
- We’d love to hear about your celebration fundraiser, so please email fundraising@studentminds.org.uk or use the hashtag #TeamStudentMinds on social media to let us know how it went!
