Get Involved with Depression Awareness Week™ 2009 - 20th to 26th April
1. Organise a fundraising event
We can make it easy for you to organise your own fundraising event: you can request a press release template to inform local people and press about your event by e-mailing us at publications@depressionalliance.org. The pack also includes a sponsorship form to make copies of and use to collect sponsorship money.
You can also set up your own online fundraising page through www.justgiving.com/depression/raisemoney/. Tell us when you've set your page up so we can tell other supporters who may sponsor you. Remember also to send us photos (digital if possible) and details of your event so that we can feature it on the website or in the newsletter. You can email us or contact the DA Office with details.
2. Share your story
If you would like to tell your story about your experiences and how you have overcome depression, please consider becoming a Depression Alliance Case Study Volunteer. We work with around fifty case study volunteers who share their experiences with local and national press, radio and television in order to raise awareness of depression and reduce the stigma attached to it.
