Why we need Community Champions
We dont recieve a single penny of government funding to run our peer support groups. These lifelines only exist because of people like you. Every pound you raise helps keeps someone from facing their struggles alone.
Our Community Champions are the Lifeline
As a Community Champion you will be helping to provide a lifeline that ensures these groups can continue to provide life changing support in communities across the country. They help sustain our existing network and build new groups, many of which will be the only source of connection and understanding for people struggling with their mental health.

Groups provide a community lifeline
This is how your fundraising makes a difference !
When you become a Community Champion, every pound you raise helps fund peer-to-peer support groups in your community and beyond.
These groups are a lifeline for people living with mental illness—providing safe spaces to connect, share experiences, and find understanding.
Run by trained volunteers with lived experience, they offer vital support for a wide range of needs—whether that’s a particular mental health condition, a specific life challenge, or simply a place to feel less alone.
Your fundraising makes this support sustainable in your area, and helps set up new groups wherever they’re needed most—whether that’s a local neighbourhood or a community facing particular challenges.
Together, we can make sure no one has to face mental illness alone.
