Pay It Forward
Our ongoing initiative to help remove the financial barriers of accessing therapy. For those who need it most.
Mental health support shouldn’t be a luxury
We don’t think finances should be the thing that stops someone getting help. Right now, over 2 million people in the UK are on waiting lists for mental health support. Budgets are stretched, demand is rising, and too many people are left without the care they need. Something’s gotta give.
So that’s exactly what we’re going to do. We’re gonna give.
This is Pay It Forward
Each year, we’re going to be partnering with an organisation that’s committed to making a difference in their community; one that’s working tirelessly to support those in need of professional, reliable and ongoing mental health support.
We’re creating a funding pot that directly covers therapy for those who need it but can’t afford it. And we’re committing to adding to it throughout the year:
Every new business partnership we sign contributes to the fund.
Every new Self Space team member makes a difference from day one.
Every team birthday we celebrate helps someone access therapy.
This isn’t a one-off campaign. It’s how we show up, consistently.
We are partnering
with Limitless
LIMITLESS was born out of two realisations: that the charity-based approach to ending socioeconomic inequality wasn’t enough, and that brands and companies have the power to drive real change.
Their approach is different. By leveraging the power of music, entertainment, and purpose-built initiatives, they raise funds to make live music accessible as it increasingly becomes more expensive. Limitless also supports young talent from underrepresented backgrounds – giving them the tools, mentorship, and employment opportunities they need to thrive.
Their mission is to break down those barriers and create real opportunities for young people. This year, we’re teaming up with Limitless to support their mission.
Our Commitment to Limitless
- Giving free access to mental health workshops for Limitless’ community of 400+ young people – spaces to learn, reflect, and develop essential mental health skills.
- Using the Pay It Forward fund to cover therapy sessions for young people who wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford them.
You can pay it forward too
The bigger the pot, the bigger the impact we can make for those who need it most.
And every little bit really does help:
- £3.5 – the price of a coffee, every little helps
- £9 – 10 mins towards someone’s therapy
- £54 – 30 mins of therapy
- £90 – 50 mins of therapy
“I have always had a deep and pressing desire to make a meaningful impact wherever I can. I understand that, while I may not be able to change the world, small, action-oriented gestures, when done in numbers, can create tangible change. Pay It Forward has been an idea bubbling away since we launched, and I’m delighted to see it finally come to life. I am excited and focused on doing more good, where we can, and doing it well. I hope that many of you will join us on this mission to make the world a more connected, healthier, and kinder place.”
