The Creative Mental Health Charity PoetsIN

We’ve been fortunate over the years to have been the recipients of some amazing fundraising efforts from our supporters. From bake sales to marathons, people around the country have put in some incredible work to raise vital funds for PoetsIN. If you’re looking for a charity to raise money for in 2025, we’d LOVE to hear from you. https://bit.ly/3VopeYP #fundraising #mentalhealth #mentalhealthcharity

🫂 Loneliness can be tough at the best of times but when Christmas comes around those feelings can really intensify. If you’ve ever struggled with feelings of loneliness, it’s important to remember that you’re definitely not the only one. In England alone, 45% of people admitted in a recent survey that they have experienced loneliness to varying degrees. With Christmas just around the corner, we thought it would be worthwhile to reshare this blog we wrote about loneliness. In this blog, we take a very personal look at loneliness and provide some tips to help you deal with feeling alone. https://bit.ly/3pSNVCs #loneliness #mentalhealth #Christmas

🗨️ “I love PoetsIN, it helps me to express myself. Sammie is great, she’s helped me to learn many things about myself. I’m grateful for it.” It’s feedback like this that makes all the blood, sweat and tears that go into running a charity our size worthwhile. Not because it boosts our ego, but because it shows that what we’re doing really works and has helped people. Because the PoetsIN team is made up of individuals who have lived experiences of mental health problems, we know how hard it is to open up about our problems. To read that working with us has helped give people a voice is incredible.

We want to send a gigantic shout-out to the incredible Garfield Weston Foundation for their amazing grant of £20,000 for core costs. Garfield Weston provides financial support to a wide range of charities across the UK, donating more than £100 million each year. With the current challenges facing small charities at the moment, these funds are crucial to ensuring we can continue to provide the level of support we do for our members and the people we help. Thanks again to everyone at the Garfield Weston Foundation.

🎅 Does it feel as though you’re the only person *not* excited for Christmas? Is this the only thing you’re expecting from Santa this year more worry? You’re not alone. Christmas can be a confusing time for many. While the entire country seems to be united in excitement and feelings of cheer, it doesn’t take much to feel as though you’re on the outside looking in. Whether it’s loneliness, depression, stress, anxiety, or a not-so-cheery Christmas cocktail of everything, the arrival of the festive season and the Coca-Cola advert doesn’t mean people struggling with their mental health can flick a switch and suddenly get into the spirit of things. If you’re struggling this Christmas, we want you to know you always have someone to talk to. Join our Facebook family now, and please remember to talk to someone if you’re finding things hard. People want to help. We know. We do. https://bit.ly/493Bmqa #mentalhealth #Christmas #depression

🔖 Brush up on our blogs. Between the PoetsIN team, our members and contributors, we’ve built up a huge catalogue of incredible blogs and articles over the years covering a massive range of mental health topics. One of the many benefits of using a diverse group of writers is that we have covered mental health from a number of different angles. So, even if you feel as though you’ve read everything there is to read about mental health, we’re sure you’ll find something new by checking out our back catalogue. If you’d like to contribute to our blog section, get in touch via our website. https://bit.ly/3Nv7KrW #mentalhealth #writing #mentalhealthblog

"Thank you for everything you have done for me, PoetsIN. You guys are absolute legends.” Another quick but hearty shout out to each and every person who has ever donated to PoetsIN. It’s hard to put into words just what your support means to us – which isn’t ideal for a charity built by writers – but to put it bluntly, it means an effing lot. When you donate to PoetsIN, you can do so with the knowledge that your money won’t be used for overseas trips for our management, plush new offices in the city, or multi-million-pound marketing campaigns. Your money will go directly to helping people who really need it.
