Charity

Shropshire Mental Health Support seeks to empower people with mental health issues.

We work to raise awareness and increase understanding of mental illness in Shropshire. Our primary goal is to ensure that people in need of assistance are heard and supported, also signposted to the relevant resources they require. Over the last 12 months, Shropshire MHS has supported over 12,000 people with their mental health needs – equating to 1,000 individuals per month. This number is growing each year, and the charity is proud to have averted over 700 potential suicides every year – saving invaluable lives, each with purpose and meaning. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Beefy Boys customers for their generous donation towards our purchase of a new well-being vehicle. This vehicle is an essential service that will assist those in need. It will visit market towns and serve as a vital link to our other services, such as the award-winning Shropshire Sanctuary, our around-the-clock telephone support service, outreach programs, and person-centred groups. We are passionate about collaborating with other like-minded businesses in our community to make a positive impact.

Every donation given helps your local hospitals do more to care for you, everyone you love and our passionate NHS staff.

From cutting-edge technology, improvements to facilities, supporting our incredible staff to specialist care; your support helps to fund projects that make a positive change for as many as possible. Working with The Beefy Boys in Cheltenham has just been the most fantastic experience! In just three months they fundraised an incredible £6,512.28 for our Oncology department. This support means we can do even more to help local cancer patients, their loved ones and the wonderful NHS staff that care for them. We are so grateful for their generous support and want to say a big thank you to everyone in the Cheltenham Team!

Our Place School is an independent special school in Worcestershire.

We believe every young person deserves to feel safe and secure, receive an excellent education and the chance to fulfil their potential, whatever their background or needs. We are committed to providing our young people with a place to grow and develop positively, where their individual needs are met, and they are seen and valued as the unique and wonderful young people they are. The generous donation from Beefy Boys allowed us to install two ActivAll Boards! These walls encourage teamwork, gross motor skills, whole body movement as well as being great fun for our students. Without the donation from Beefy Boys, this would not have been possible. Thank you, Beefy Boys!

We provide grants to the family of every child with cancer in Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Gloucestershire, Monmouthshire, Powys & Ceredigion. The grants are not means tested and are easy to access. We believe providing financial assistance during a family’s darkest times when costs spiral is a vital practical support we can offer.
