Why we need you!

We are a local mental health charity, providing life-changing support for adults, children and young people across York and surrounding areas. We believe that everyone should have access to mental health support regardless of who they are.

From counselling and coaching to drop-in groups and peer support, we help people find hope, confidence and connection when they need it most.

Every pound you raise stays right here in York, helping someone in our community take a vital step towards better mental health.

With your support, we can make sure no one in the York area has to face their struggles alone.

Using your own place to support York Mind

If you have a place in the York 10K purchased through Run for All, you can still run for York Mind!

We'd love to have you on our team! 

You'll still receive a branded running vest and all of our support, just email to let us know you'd like to join our team - fundraising@yorkmind.org.uk

1What is the difference between a charity place and an own place?

York Mind purchase a limited number of spaces to participate in the York 10K which we offer at at a reduced price. As part of your charity place, we ask that you aim to achieve a fundraising target of £100. 

If you have purchased a space in the Yorkshire Marathon directly through Run for All, you can still use your space to raise money for us, but you choose your own fundraising target.

2How much do I need to raise?

The minimum fundraising target for a charity place is £100. This must be raised by 11/10/2026. But don't worry, our team are here to help you from the moment you sign up to the very end! Please get in touch if you think you will have difficulty achieving this - we may be able to help.

3Can I volunteer at the event?

We would love you to! Please click here and sign up to be one of our fundraising volunteers!

4I have signed up but I haven't heard anything back

Most of our team work part-time and as such you may not receive a response straight away, however we aim to get back to you within 2 working days. If you have not received a response please email nic.willis@yorkmind.org.uk

5How will the money I raise be spent?

York Mind is an independent charity that provides life-changing counselling services for people in York who are struggling with their mental health - the service is delivered by trained professionals and supported by the generosity of our community. 


Every pound you raise will stay in York and help keep our services running, it also ensures that cost is never a barrier for those in need.
