Our new charity partnership with Gillespie Macandrew
Change Mental Health is excited to become one of two charity partners for Scottish law firm Gillespie Macandrew alongside children and young people charity Richmond’s Hope.
A two-year partnership will see Gillespie Macandrew support our charity’s community projects, enabling fundraising and volunteering opportunities for our vital mental health services across Scotland. The law firm will support Change Mental Health and Richmond’s Hope, a charity providing children and young people aged 4-18 years old with the support, tools and space to process their grief after losing someone close to them.
“Change Mental Health is delighted to be partnering with Gillespie Macandrew over the coming two years. Through their commitment of spreading awareness, raising vital funds and volunteering their time, we can continue to provide transformational mental health support to more people across Scotland. It’s only through the support of charity partners like Gillespie Macandrew that we can be one step closer to a future where no one faces mental illness alone.”
