Brewing conversations for mental health!

CW Mind | Tea and Talk 2024

Take part during February and March 2024

By organising a Tea and Talk fundraiser, not only are you raising vital funds for mental health support services, but you're also creating a space for open conversations about mental health and promoting awareness in your community.

So how do you do this?

• Plan the Event: Start by setting a date, time, and venue for your fundraiser. It could be held in a community centre, a local café, or even someone's home. Make sure it's easily accessible to your target audience.
• Register your event with us here: supporter form
• Set up your JustGiving page using this link: justgiving.com/campaign/teaandtalk2024
• Invite guests: Reach out to friends, family, colleagues, and community members to invite them to your Tea and Talk event. You can create invitations through social media, email, or traditional paper invites.
• Tea and treats: Arrange for a variety of teas, both traditional and herbal, along with some delicious treats like scones, sandwiches, cakes, and biscuits. Consider partnering with local bakeries or cafes to provide refreshments or ask for donations from community members.
• Create a relaxing atmosphere: Set up the venue with cosy seating arrangements, tablecloths, flowers, and soothing background music to create a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere where guests can enjoy their tea and conversation.
• Guest speakers or activities: Consider having guest speakers from Coventry and Warwickshire Mind to talk about mental health awareness, mindfulness techniques, or stress management. You could also organise activities like mindfulness exercises, art therapy, or relaxation techniques for your guests to participate in.
• Donation collection: Set up a designated area for collecting donations throughout the event. You can have donation boxes, QR codes for online donations, or even a donation station where guests can contribute towards the cause.
• Spread awareness: Encourage guests to share their experience at the event on social media and tag us @cwmind on facebook and X or cw.mind on Instagram.
