Mental Elf 2025

Full details of the route coming soon.

Whilst fundraising isn’t compulsory for this event, we would encourage each person taking part to reach a target of £40.

The more money you raise, the more people Oxfordshire Mind can help across our communities, ensuring they will have the support and respect they need and deserve.

We are here to support you from fundraising to finish line! Once you have signed up, we’ll send you a fundraising pack full of advice and tips to help you smash your fundraising target.

We have lots of fundraising resources to help you get started on your festive fundraising journey. Have a look at our guides and templates which are guaranteed to give your fundraising a boost!

Supporting people’s mental health has never been more important than it is right now. Your colleagues, customers, suppliers and the communities you want to reach all have mental health. There’s no better time to show your company’s commitment to improving mental health for everyone.

Want to sign up as a corporate team? Every corporate team who signs up with Oxfordshire Mind will receive a special shout-out on social media and in our newsletters; we’ll make sure that your business’ presence on the day is known!

Want to get involved further? Partnering with us for Mental Elf 2025 would be an excellent opportunity to raise your business profile whilst supporting Oxfordshire Mind’s vital work. We have a number of sponsorship opportunities and ways you could support us.

We would not be able to make Mental Elf a success without the support of amazing volunteer Elves. We have various roles available this year.
