Christmas Appeal

Mental health is an important aspect of each of our lives. Between 2021 and 2022, we supported over 3,700 people in York and this covers a wide range of age groups, from 8 to over 84. Read our latest impact report.

Whether it’s the financial costs associated with buying gifts, the gloomy winter evenings, or spending the festive season alone, there can be a number of triggers for peoples mental health during the festive time of year. So please, if you need to speak about your mental health this Christmas, please express this to a friend, a family member, a colleague, or a health professional.

In the run up to Christmas, there are several fundraising events happening across the area in aid of York Mind. These range from a rugby match hosted by the University of York, to a collection day at the Designer outlet. If you'd like to organise your own fundraising activity with your friends, family, or colleagues, send us a message and let us know what you're up to at fundraising@yorkmind.org.uk.

York Mind would like to remind you that the Mind info line is available over Christmas; their number is 0300 123 3393.

We'd like to wish you a Merry Christmas, and all the best for the New Year.

With love,

All of us here at York Mind.
