The Health-on-Line CSR Programme

This year, our staff have pledged their support to two health related charities, focusing on those affected by both mental health and by terminal illness. With events like the Valentine’s Day raffle and the infamous Health-on-Line Charity Football Tournament; we’re hopeful that we will be able to support both of these charities very generously throughout 2018.

For over 70 years, Dorset Mind has provided support and guidance to anyone experiencing a mental health problem. Although an affiliate of national Mind, the charity generates all of their own income and receives no direct funding from the national organisation or Mind shops. Their main objectives are to raise awareness and empower those affected as well as focus on improving services within general and specific communities. Dorset Mind is currently running two major campaigns. 'Dorset Mind Your Head' is a programme of youth services that will support young people's mental health in the county while 'Dorset Mind Works' aims to tackle the stigma of mental health in the workplace. More information about their work can be found on the Dorset Mind website.

The Dorset Children’s Foundation was set up in 2013 to support local sick and disabled children by funding medical expenses, mobility equipment and therapies not covered by the NHS. They not only raise vital funds but offer a support network to families, connecting parents in similar situations.

The charity seeks to improve the quality of life for children so that they can gain better movement, overcome isolation, improve their self-esteem and play a larger part in the society around them, be that family or school.
