Heads Together This Winter: Bringing Our Community Together to Support Mental Health
As the festive season approaches, there’s a sense of joy and togetherness in the air—but it can also be a particularly tough time for those struggling with their mental health. At Renew, we see first-hand the challenges that winter brings for many in our community, and we know that mental health support is more crucial than ever. That’s why we’re launching Heads Together This Winter, a donation drive designed to make professional counselling accessible for those who can’t afford it.
Why should we get our Heads Together?
For over 120 years, Renew has been a place where people can find help and hope. Our mission is to provide compassionate, professional mental health support to anyone who needs it. But the reality is that some individuals face financial barriers to accessing this care. Heads Together This Winter aims to bridge this gap by helping Renew to provide sessions for individuals who need support but are unable to pay.
The festive season can often heighten feelings of isolation, stress and anxiety, especially for those already struggling. For many, the pressure to join in celebrations contrasts with their inner reality, creating an even greater sense of distance from others. Through this campaign, we’re inviting our entire community to help change that narrative by joining us in paying it forward and offering support to those who need it most.
How it works
Heads Together This Winter is all about community. We’re asking people to donate to Renew, enabling us to provide counselling sessions for individuals in need. Each donation will help us to continue creating a pathway to hope, healing and resilience.
Whether large or small, every contribution has an impact. Just one session with a qualified counsellor can make a world of difference for someone facing difficult circumstances. And with continued support, Renew can provide long-term mental health support to individuals as they work through their challenges.
How can I help?
We’re calling on individuals, businesses and our community partners to support Heads Together This Winter by making a donation, spreading the word or planning events for your community. Together, we can help ensure that no one in our community faces their struggles alone. Here’s how you can participate:
- Make a Donation: Every pound will help us to continue helping those in need. Even a small amount can contribute to someone’s journey towards experiencing life in its fullness.
- Share the Message: Spread the word by sharing this blog, our social media posts or simply telling friends and family. Together, we can grow a supportive network that puts mental health first.
- Encourage your workplace, school or community to get involved: If you’re part of a local business or organisation, consider running a fundraiser or sharing our campaign with your team.
Let’s put our heads together this winter
The holiday season is a time for connection, kindness and community. By coming together, we can lift up those who might be struggling and help them access the support they need. #HeadsTogetherThisWinter is more than a campaign—it’s a commitment to our community’s wellbeing.
At Renew, we believe that mental health matters all year round. But with your help this winter, we can make a real difference in the lives of those who need it most. Let’s put our Heads Together This Winter to create a brighter, healthier season for everyone.
