Sponsor us
Why sponsor us?
Even though we are part of the Mind network, Dorset Mind is independently funded and relies on local fundraising and donations to continue to support the people of Dorset.
How you can sponsor us:
Our educational conferences are gaining huge attention. They focus on an area of mental health that people are currently asking us about – they want to learn more. Previous topics include how to have a courageous conversation with people about suicide, and PTSD and trauma.
We invite notable guest speakers and our expert trainers to deliver interactive, informative sessions – that always provoke thought and give a ‘takeaway’ for our audience.
Sponsoring a conference ensures we will mention you every time we promote it online, and any press releases we issue. You’ll also be named and personally thanked on the day of the conference.

Add the name of your brand to our corporate fundraisers and benefit from joining other reputable brands and the PR that comes with sponsoring a headline charity event.
Make a donation towards a specific element, such as goodie bags, or simply purchase a sponsorship package that guarantees exposure and support from us!

Provide education for more people in your local community by sponsoring online webinars that our training team can deliver for FREE. Cost can be a barrier to accessing expert training. Help us reach people that need our mental health support by making a generous donation.
You can choose a topic from our workplace training courses which you can find here, or perhaps you’d like us to develop a bespoke session of your choosing.

Dorset Mind is not a crisis service… but we are able to help those on the front line access expert mental health training that includes Mental Health First Aid (MHFA).
By sponsoring training for key workers and those working in non-profit organisations like ours, your donation will help equip people to continue making a huge difference to the people they support.
This support is essential to help dedicated front line staff avoid burnout – we’re seeing this more and more in local charities we work with. We’ve trained Citizens Advice, Age UK, several Food Banks, Citygate Church and Pramacare.
For the past two years, we’ve run a Christmas Tree Recycle fundraiser in BCP that helps collect and recycle unwanted trees after the Christmas season has passed.
We’ve done this in partnership with Maidmans Moving and Storage who generously donated vans and staff to help us and Upton Specialised Tree Services who helped recycle the trees.
Can you help us expand this initiative even further across Dorset? If so, please get in in touch via our Contact Form, selecting Fundraising and Events.
As a charity, we’re extremely conscious about how we spend donations.
This past year, we’ve noticed that people we meet or speak to have more extreme and complex issues – which might need specialist training.
Your support can help ensure our staff and volunteers have the training they need to better support people in Dorset.
We produce local information and signposting booklets that includes our support – and details of key services delivered by other organisations. We group them by subject, so that it’s quick and easy for someone who is in need to find what they’re looking for.
We keep our print run limited as details change frequently.
Why do we print booklets?
- Because not everyone is able to go online or might struggle to find what they need.
- People might want to find out information for a friend or family member they’re supporting.
- We also take them to events as they’re great tools to open up a conversation about mental health.
You can sponsor our support services for adults or young people – or make a generous contribution towards them.
We always need equipment, seeds and tools at Eco in Mind at various locations across Dorset – or you could sponsor a talking therapy group or block of 1-2-1 sessions that can help someone recover from trauma and regain their confidence.
