Trading for Charity

A Formidable Challenge

South Kent Mind need to raise £300,000 every year from donations, grants, and fundraising in order to provide local activities and services, currently provided outside core services.

Unfortunately, dependable sources of income have been impacted. Due to the Pandemic our Mind Charity Shop in Hythe is temporarily closed and the majority of our collection tins are inaccessible and increasingly outmoded as businesses move to contactless pay.

Yet take a moment and there are ways to make donating easier, better and smarter. We think it is time to make a difference with simple efforts that will help us hit our big annual target.

VITAL INFORMATION – when you click to select the charity you will be supporting – you must write South Kent Mind – not just Mind – or you will not be selecting the local mental health charity supporting services in Folkestone, Hythe, Dover, Deal, Romney Marsh and Sandwich.

Amazon Smile

Amazon offers a charity version of their website and donate around 0.5% of the price of any purchase to South Kent Mind.
