Donate to Help Support Parents & Caregivers, organized by Sarah Glover 07/04/2024

Parental Minds Support is 4 in June, so we've decided to set up various ways that our friends and families can support the work we do.

As the need is growing, so is the team!! Funding is hard to obtain currently with local authorities and NHS cutting services and fewer grants available. So we are reaching out to our communities to help support our work.

As well as GoFundMe you can donate via PayPal here www.parentalminds.org.uk

You can add Easy Fundraising to your Web browser when you shop
https://join.easyfundraising.org.uk/parental-minds-cic

You can buy an Exeter Lottery ticket! https://www.exetercommunitylottery.co.uk/support/parental-mind-cic

Or hold a Fundraising event for us?

Every penny we raise provides support direct to parents and caregivers.

We provide Support Calls, in person support, virtual support, WhatsApp messaging, mentoring, listening, peer support and skills workshops...and all as 1:1 and group support.

Our unique approach continues to evolve and grow organically based on the learning from hundreds of families that we support, with the safety of input from professionals and researchers ๐Ÿ’œ
