Want to run in a team? Signing up with colleagues is a great way to boost the awareness of your business, not to mention great team bonding.

Every corporate team who signs up with OxMind will receive a special shout-out on social media and in our newsletters; we’ll make sure that your business’ presence on the day is known!

If you would like to chat to us about this, email us here.

We would not be able to make Mental Elf a success without the support of amazing volunteers. We have various roles available this year. If you are interested in becoming an Elf Volunteer, please register your interest below.

What should I do if I need to withdraw from the event?

If you need to withdraw from the event, please inform us as soon as possible by emailing fundraising@oxfordshiremind.org.uk. This helps us manage participant numbers and make any necessary adjustments for the event.
