First and foremost, by joining Friends of ABF, you’ll be helping us to continue supporting people with their mental health and keep offering our services to the community for free. As a small, local charity, we solely rely on grants, fundraising, and donations to deliver our work, so any donations we receive – big or small – goes a long way.

Not only is joining Friends of ABF a great way to support the work we do, but it gives you the opportunity to have an influence on how we shape and design our services too. This might be helping us with a survey or piece of research, contributing to one of our interactive co-production workshops, or joining us at one of our coffee & chat sessions.

As a Friend of ABF, you’re joining a community committed to raising awareness around positive mental health, helping us achieve our vision of no person experiencing poor mental health ever feels like they’re on their own. Every shared social media post, every flyer handed out, every conversation with a friend or neighbour, helps us spread the word about what we do and how we can help people.

Do you enjoy meeting other people, having fun, and doing your bit for a good cause? Well as a Friend of ABF, you’ll also have the opportunity to join us as a Fundraising Volunteer, helping us to raise vital core funds for the charity. This might be joining us at one of our fun bucket collections, or running your own fundraiser in aid of ABF.
