As you may be aware in 2020 we partnered with MIND, however the pandemic hit and we believed it was only right to support our amazing NHS too. Despite not being able to hold and ‘physical’ events we managed to raise a record breaking £6k which we are all really proud of.
This year, we wanted to continue to support MIND, not only because we split what we raised two ways in the end, but because mental health is still very relevant in this current climate and our employees wellbeing is paramount to us at Henderson Scott.
In 2020 we opened two offices in the North (Liverpool & Edinburgh), so it was important to us that we also support a charity that operates in Scotland. Taking this into consideration, we decided to fundraise for MIND’s sister charity too, SAMH, who support mental health in Scotland.
Both MIND and SAMH provide advice and support to empower anyone experiencing a mental health problem. They campaign to improve services, raise awareness, and promote understanding.
We have set a target amount of £10k to raise by the end of the year, with 75% going to MIND and 25% going to SAMH. Whether the fundraisers are virtual, or we manage to reunite later in the year and hold events in person, we believe that as a company and with the support of friends and family, we can reach this goal.
