Growing together

This spring, we’re inviting you to help fill our trolley and see how even a small donation can make a tangible difference to mental wellbeing in Surrey. Want to know what your donation could be used for? From warm drinks at our Safe Haven to training for volunteers, every item represents real support for real people. Click below to see how you could help something meaningful grow.

Spring reminds us that growth takes care, consistency and the right support. The same is true for mental wellbeing in our Surrey community.
 
Every donation to MFT – whether a one-off gift or a regular monthly contribution – helps us be there for people when they need support most. Your generosity funds safe spaces to talk, early intervention, outreach work and practical wellbeing programmes. It gives us the stability to plan ahead and the flexibility to respond quickly.
 
This year, we’re inviting you to help fill our trolley – a simple way of seeing exactly how your donation can make a difference: 

£2 could cover the cost of printed support literature for someone to take away from our Safe Haven in Epsom – a dedicated space open every evening of the year (and available virtually too) for anyone in crisis

£10 could provide a warm drink and biscuits for five people in crisis visiting our Safe Haven

£30 could fund a trained facilitator to deliver a one-hour support group session

£90 could cover five hours of specialist training for a volunteer Advisory Group member with lived experience


Regular monthly donations are especially powerful. They give us dependable income to sustain services, invest in volunteers and continue developing support for those who rely on us. Even a small amount each month grows into meaningful, lasting impact.
 
Giving doesn’t just benefit those receiving support. Many of our donors tell us it helps them feel connected – part of something compassionate and practical in their local community. It’s a way to turn care into action and help make Surrey a kinder place for everyone.
 
Whether you choose to give once or regularly, you are helping ensure that no one has to face their challenges alone. Thank you for considering adding something to the trolley – every contribution helps something important take root and grow.

“MFT have been a cornerstone of support for my mum over the last couple of years, as she has navigated reaching a diagnosis of Alzheimers.

Mum is one of the younger Alzheimers community and still wants to live life to the full.

The care and kindness from the people who run and attend the MFT support groups is a highlight of her week.

As a family, contributing each month, where we can, feels like the right thing to do, so the doors remain open.”
