THE FUTURE FUND:

DONATING TO OUR 2026 CROWDFUNDER

2026 is our tenth year as a social enterprise and so we’re marking this milestone with a crowdfunding project called “The Future Fund.” We are seeking to raise £20,000 towards the future of our organisation aiming at three specific goals for the fundraising:

• Creating a dedicated wellbeing space and in time our our specific Space to Breathe wellbeing venue. This means more space, capacity and focus to provide you a space where you can breathe.

• Creating more capacity to work with those who’d otherwise be excluded from mental health and wellbeing care. Many people experience barriers of culture, language, income or geography which stop them getting the help they need. For many, emotional stability is the key - with the reality that if you’re not stable enough, you’ll be often told you’re not able to access help. More and more people who attend Space to Breathe support have nothing else that helps them. Just imagine the impact if that wasn’t there and just imagine what increasing our capacity could mean to many other people.

• Creating a wider reach for our organisation. As we grow into our future, we’d like to widen the scope of our organisation. We’d like to widen the sectors of society we reach into - hiring counsellors who speak different languages or working in new areas such as nutrition. We’d like to widen our reach geographically - working into South Yorkshire and beyond, going where the need is. We’d also like to widen the applications of our work - what if our tried and tested model for emotional stability could be made relevant for young people in schools or to those facing the uncertainty of dementia? We’d like to widen what we do and grow its impact for the future.

We want to share these this crowdfunder as widely as possible. £20,000 sounds like a massive target, and it is, but we think we can find 1000 people who’d give £20 or 400 people who’d give £50. Would you join in and be one of the people to help us get across the line? Every donation would make a difference.

You could give any of the amounts below and you’d receive a reward:

• Make a £20 donation and receive a free wellbeing tool from our shop.

• Make a £50 donation and get one of our new bumper wellbeing boxes or get access to a free yoga, yoga Nidra, mindfulness or wellbeing session with one of our team.

• Make a £100 donation and you could access a free place on a wellbeing day.

• Make a £250 donation and get a free place on a weekend wellbeing retreat.

Businesses and organisations can also donate and receive benefits in kind such as:

• Free spaces for staff on training events (donations above £50)

• Training events for your team in your location (donations above £200)

• Culture of wellbeing training, questionnaires and support (donations above £500)

• Bespoke training and wellbeing experiences (donations about £1000)

You can donate below, why not donate today.

Although we are not a charity, Space to Breathe does welcome and receive donations as part of our work as a Community Interest Company. Sometimes these are linked to a project (e.g. The Remembering resource) or at other times they are a general gift to our work.

We commit to spending 100% of your gift on furthering the work of Space to Breathe and by doing so, enabling a growth and support in people’s wellbeing.
