The 10^th October 2025 marks World Mental Health Day, a significant day to highlight and raise awareness about the continuing need for mental health services and support. Throughout life there can be various obstacles and challenges that can be sprung upon us, when we least expect it which can lead to the rise of various emotions and feelings that can often feel difficult to navigate alone.

Wear it Blue 

This October, we’re asking everyone to Wear It Blue and spread awareness for mental health! 

Whether it’s a blue pair of socks, , your favourite jeans, or a bright blue jumper — it’s an easy way to show support and spark conversations about mental health.

Why wear it blue? Blue is a key colour of ours and it unites everything that we do in our work to ensure that no one has to face a mental health difficulty alone.

So why not join us and wear it blue! by taking part, you’ll help raise vital funds for Doncaster Mind that allow us to continue our work supporting local people living with mental health challenges. Every pound raised helps to keep our vital services running,  raise awareness, and make sure no one faces mental health struggles alone.

How to get involved:

Dress in blue – at work, school or with friends, pay £1 and donate to Doncaster Mind 

Share your photos -  and tag us on social media. 

Fundraise – hold a blue-themed bake sale, raffle, or coffee morning.

Together, we can make a difference to Doncaster— one blue outfit at a time.
