MindOut are offering an opportunity to do all those things with a new fundraising initiative, Dine for MindOUt!
Take part and you could win a meal for two!
In the next few months MindOut are launching a string of food related fundraising events. The idea is simple and everyone can join in.
Invite your friends round for dinner and ask them to make a donation. Follow the themes MindOut suggest or come up with your own, just ask for a £3 minimum donation from all your guests. If you don’t want to cook you can host a picnic or BBQ anytime you like!
Over the next six months MindOut will suggest six food themes, each with their own info packs giving you recipes, tips and telling you about the hidden benefits of the ingredients.
The campaign starts in July with Indian food, recently voted Britain’s favourite food. However, you can chose your own type of food if you like.
When you host the dinner, BBQ or picnic, take photos, videos, write blogs and post them to www.facebook.com/DineForMindOut so they can see how it goes.
MindOut have created a Facebook page, make sure you ‘Like’ and ‘Share’ it with your friends to keep up to date with related upcoming events.
If you use Twitter or Instagram use #DineForMindOut so all your friends can follow the fun.
Each month MindOut will publish a dedicated info pack inspired by the current theme. It will be a jump-start for the novice by providing a popular recipe for each food group: meat, fish, vegetarian and vegan. You don’t have to follow these if you have your own source of culinary inspiration, but there will be tips, interesting facts on the ingredients… and look out for the Celebrity Dish!
At the end of the diner (or brunch, picnic, gathering) you just pass an envelope among your friends to collect a minimum £5 donation each.
You can take the donations to MindOut, LGBTQ Mental Health Service, Community Base, 113 Queens Road, Brighton BN1 3XG. Telephone 01273 234839. Or at the click of a button you can make a single donation at https://campaign.justgiving.com/charity/mindout-lgbt/dineformindout
Each month, MindOut will randomly pick the name of a host, who will win dinner for two at one of the restaurants supporting the scheme.
