Support Make a Difference
Volunteer, fundraise, donate
There are lots of amazing ways that you can make a difference and support mental health kindness in our community.
Every year, we need to raise at least £45,000 to keep our doors open at the Arch Workshops.
With your help, we can continue our mission, and to grow our free mental heath support services in West Devon.
How you can make a difference
Help us in our mission to support a mental health-kind community
Volunteer your skills
From decorating and carpentry, to leading craft or cookery sessions, if you have a skill or professional service to offer, you can make a difference.
We're hugely grateful to the amazing DIYers and local tradespeople who donate their skilled time at the Arch workshops.
Volunteer your time
Your friendship can make a difference. Our mission is to end the stigma of living with a mental illness, through kindness in the community.
Drop in to say hello, have a cup of tea and a chat. We value friends of the charity, who pop in when they can
Fundraise for us
You can make a difference by hosting a fundraising coffee morning or quiz night, raffle, cake sale, running a marathon, or choosing us as your organisation's nominated charity.
Donate
Even with the support of our wonderful volunteers, it costs over £45,000 a year to keep our lights on and doors open. Your donation, via our JustGiving page will make a difference. Every penny will help foster mental health kindness, support and friendship at the Arch and throughout the wider community.
