Fundraise
We work to make a world where there is good mental health for all – but we can’t do it without you! You can get involved in our work – as an individual, a group, or an organisation. From running a marathon and showing your support with a Ewen's Room badge, to holding a bake sale and sharing your personal experience of mental health, there’s something that everyone can do. Fundraise for us. Learn how to do your own fundraising. Every pound you raise will help us tip the balance in favour of a world with good mental health for all. You can do a challenge event for us, take part in one of our flagship fundraising campaigns or simply do your own thing to raise money.

Ewen's Room Walk & Talk
Here at Ewen’s Room we know how good it is for our mental health to get outside in the winter months- and we know that setting a goal can give us the extra incentive we need to get out there! So this January we are encouraging all who can to get out and about for a good cause; pledge your miles and help us to reach our target- to collectively walk the coast of Scotland in 2024 and raise funds to continue to improve mental wellbeing in Lochaber!

Corporate Partnerships
