Make a Donation

We could not do our work without your generous help

Why donate?

In England, 1 in 4 people will experience a mental health problem in any given year, and 1 in 6 people report experiencing a common mental health problem (like anxiety or depression) in any given week. The charity sector is vitally important to the recovery of many people, who often cannot access services anywhere else.

Devon Mind is affiliated with the national Mind association, but we are an independent charity in our own right — we are responsible for our own fundraising, our own service delivery, our own governance, and our own awareness-raising efforts. We rely on our amazing community to raise vital funds to help us keep doing the work we do — we could not do it without your help! Thank you for donating whatever you can.
