Applications now open!
September 2024 will see York Mind launch the first ever ‘York Mind Accumulator Challenge’ where teams will compete across 30 days to grow £30 into as much money as possible in aid of York Mind.
York Mind will supply each team with £30 initial funding. Teams will then have free reign aim to grow their £30 into as much as possible. In the run up to and throughout the month teams will be supported by the York Mind fundraising team to help make your challenge a success. Funds can be raised through any method but must be legal, safe and ethical. Here are a few ideas! Please see our ethical fundraising policy or contact fundraising@yorkmind.org.uk to find out more.
