The Fundraising department is a dynamic team committed to raising money for mental health initiatives. Our income streams include Events, Community, Individual Giving, Legacies, In-Memoriam, Philanthropy, Trusts and Grants, and Partnerships.

The Partnerships team has a strong record of delivering notable partnerships, such as our multi-year Lloyds Banking Group partnership which raised £16m, and others with Bank of America, Dune, and more.

Sitting within the External Affairs directorate, we work across both Mental Health UK and Rethink Mental Illness, harnessing the collective power of both organizations to support our work.

We value diversity and inclusiveness, recognizing the importance of different perspectives in shaping our workplace and services. We support staff networks for ethnically diverse and LGBTQIA+ colleagues, and are proud to be a Disability Confident Employer and signatory to the Business in the Community Race at Work Charter.

We aim for our workforce to reflect the communities we serve and actively encourage applications from everyone, including those with lived experience of mental illness, from diverse backgrounds, and with various identities and conditions.
