What are we fundraising for?
Our goal is to help make us a more sustainable organisation. 🌱
Activate Mental Health is in a really fortunate position. Thanks to our incredible supporters and sponsors, our overhead costs are fully covered beyond our operational expenses, something not many charities can say.
To remain sustainable and continue growing our impact, our biggest need right now is funding for a Volunteer Manager.
This role would support and coordinate our amazing volunteer team and help us recruit new volunteers, particularly across Perth’s outer suburbs where support is needed most.
We’re also seeing a real gap in daytime mental health and connection events, especially for:
🙂 People on the NDIS
🙂 Single parents with children at school
🙂 FIFO workers
🙂 Anyone who experiences loneliness during the day
We’re more than just another awareness-raising mental health charity. We are providing a tangible solution to the world’s biggest health epidemic by simply providing safe spaces for fun and human connection.
