Other ways to support us

At work

You can fundraise for Anna Freud at work in several ways, which are listed below.

Payroll giving

Payroll giving is one of the simplest and most tax-efficient ways of making a regular donation to us. These donations are deducted before tax so each £1.00 you give a month will only cost you 80p, and if you're a higher rate taxpayer it will only cost you 60p. You can speak to your HR department about setting up a regular gift to Anna Freud through your salary. 

Match funding

If you're fundraising for us, check whether your workplace does match funding. Many employers will agree to match whatever you raise which can be a great way to double your fundraising total.

Charity of the Year

Why not nominate us as your workplace Charity of the Year? We've worked with organisations including Jo Malone London, Goldman Sachs, and RBS and can offer your workplace a bespoke package to ensure you and your staff get the most out of your relationship with us.

Testimonial

"At Smith Webb, we wanted to help mental health and anti-bullying charities. We have extended family members who have been severely affected by mental health issues and we have both experienced perinatal and postnatal anxiety. With five children between us, we have witnessed first-hand the impact of bullying on our children's mental health.

We felt that mental health wasn't spoken about as freely and openly as we would have liked, so our aims were two-fold - to raise awareness of these issues and raise funds for our charities. We created a brand around our ethos of kindness - being kind to each other and yourself. The thought that just a simple smile can brighten someone's day if they're feeling low - we want to be that smile."

At school

Fundraising for Anna Freud has plenty of benefits for your pupils from working as a team and planning to learning about mental health. Pupils knowing that their school is supporting other young people who are struggling is a fantastic feeling. Here are some of the ways schools have fundraised for us in the past.

Sponsored walks and sporting events

Improve physical fitness and get outdoors, while raising money for children and young people

Bake sales

Bake sales are a tried and tested way to raise money and we can provide resources to furnish your stall.

Talent show

Let pupils show you their hidden talents and raise funds for us in the process. Young people from Camden organised a talent show for us and raised over £200.

Raffles

Take the stress out of hosting a raffle by using Raffall. The platform takes care of licenses, tickets, and choosing a winner - all you have to do is secure the prizes and let everyone know.

First Give

First Give is an amazing programme which helps young people to give their time, tenacity and talents to improve their local communities. We were delighted to participate for the first time in 2017. Not only did the pupils learn more about mental health, they also won a £1000 donation. If your school is near our offices in King's Cross or Manchester, why not choose to learn more about Anna Freud?
