Get your colleagues involved in the fight for mental health
Become one of our corporate partners!
Corporate partnerships are a unique and greatly rewarding way to support Devon Mind, engaging your employees with the charity and helping us reach more people who might be able to benefit from our services.
Every relationship we have with a partner is different — every company is unique in its goals, values and approach, so it’s important we work closely together to find out how best to utilise one another’s services.
Why Devon Mind?
Mental health is right at the top of the national agenda. We know that lots of companies are interested in helping to improve and broaden the reach of mental health support services, which makes us the perfect choice.
Devon Mind is a charity on the grow, so we believe that we’re a perfect fit for any local organisation looking to contribute to the conversation around mental health. You can make a difference.
We’re dedicated to supporting our corporate partners as much as possible, so here’s what you’ll get when you sign up to work with us:
A named contact who you can contact directly
Coverage on our social media and in our newsletter
Plenty of merch and branded T-shirts for fundraising
Chances to meet staff, volunteers, and service users
Materials individually tailored to your specific needs
