Pension Protection Fund Charity Quiz Night
We are delighted that Mind in Croydon are now in our second year of being supported by our good friends from the Pension protection Fund. Fund raising activities continue in abundance! On the evening of the 27th June , the PPF ran a summer quiz at their offices in Croydon. Participants paid £30 per table of 6 and consisted mainly of PPF employees plus a MiC team too! Teams brought their own food and drink and all monies contributed to the PPF annual fund raising target for MiC. The atmosphere was competitive but jovial and great fun was had by all. Interesting that the Executives team (including our own Richard Pacitti) came top of the league board! A great evening of fund raising and fun, thanks to PPF.

Charity Fundraiser Lunch with the Mayor of CroydonNew Hoarding Group Starts 1st October 2019
The purpose of the project is to provide free group counselling sessions to participants, who reside in the Borough of Croydon, in order to help them examine why they collect items that clutter the home and what would it be like to consider letting some of these go.
As part of the project, if participants feel comfortable to do so, they will be introduced to De-Clutter Buddies who will come to your home on invitation and look at what could be done to support you in this decluttering. This offer is for an hour a week. If a client would prefer they can meet the De-Clutter Buddy outside of their home to start with.

Every year Day Lewis host an Annual Charity Day, where all pharmacies across the estate take part to raise money for their local charities. This year, the Day Lewis Support Office based in Purley Way raised funds for their two chosen charities, of which Mind in Croydon are one. The day was a real family occasion and was also attended by the Mayor or Croydon and his wife. Despite the constant rain, employees participated in a number of events to raise funds for us. These included a basketball match, a clothes sale, raffles and opportunities to wet sponge the bosses! A grand total of £2500 was raised that was matched by the KC JC Foundation, which means each charity received £2500 each. We are delighted and thankful to Day Lewis for this donation which will contribute to the running of our front line services to help those experiencing mental health issues to lead better lives.
