Why Fundraise for Us
We don’t just offer support; we deliver a model that is proven to work globally. We are leading the way in developing mental health support you can trust in the Highlands, with our Recovery Centre being the first residential service of its kind in Scotland, setting a new standard for person-centred care, followed by our Discovery College model, which is the first of its kind to exist in the area.
Our approach is recognised worldwide for delivering meaningful, lasting outcomes in mental health recovery. Every member of our team in our drop-in support service brings lived experience, a model known as peer support, backed by studies from the World Health Organization (WHO).
When you fundraise for us, you are helping to contribute to the creation of a mental health system in the Highlands that actually works, and that can be trusted.
Fundraise for Mental Health
Already, we are supporting over 100 people every week in Inverness and beyond through our innovative drop-in services. These sessions are completely free, inclusive, and accessible to all, with no appointment needed. By fundraising for us, you’re supporting a proven, life-changing approach to mental health and wellbeing across the Highlands.
Our drop-in mental health services throughout Highland receive no statutory funding, so we rely wholly on donations and fundraising initiatives. This essential service provides help and support before it reaches crisis point.
Whether it’s a bake sale, sponsored walk or a bungee jump we couldn’t provide our essential, face-to-face mental health support without you.

Proven: backed by global evidence on peer support

Preventative: reaching people before crisis
Transformational: creating sustainable lifestyle change, not just short-term relief.
