Fundraising

Following advice from the NMHW2005 Evaluation process, the MHF has completed a piece of research which will help you to fundraise for your activity. This was written in April 2007 and will help you identify sources of funding and how you can go about applying for funding for NMHW 2008.

Working with the Media

Diversity and planning

The importance of your health promotion activity during NMHW 2008 to reflect and mainstream the specific needs of various groups of men cannot be underestimated. Therefore, we have created a specific area of the resource pack to support your work in this area, which also includes the contact details of key organisations who will be able to give further support.

• Diversity and NMHW

You will also find diversity reflected throughout the resource pack.
