You'll like our new video - notch a lot!

The MHF is applying for funding from Nesta's £10m Innovation in Giving Fund for its 'Give A Notch' scheme.

Announced with the Office for Civil Society, the fund is for proposals which 'have the potential to deliver a significant increase in the giving and exchange of time, assets, skills, resources and money'. You can help by having a look at our video pitch. Funnier than a comedian's tax return, it's, well, different from the average funding pitch.

What is 'Give a Notch'?

It's a initiative which combines fun, fashion and fundraising. In 50 words: 'Give a Notch brings together weight-loss, fashion and giving in a team game to fund MHF advice services. Men make a donation for the weight (or belt notches) lost. Their bigger clothes are recycled. Commercial partners provide discounted new ones. Men lose weight. Charities fund-raise. Everyone gains clothes.'
