Now as Covid-19 restrictions continue to ease, the business decided to donate £5 from every order placed to Mind during Mental Health Awareness Week and also opened a public donation page where staff and customers could make individual donations.

Director at Banner Box Print Solutions Ryan Shelton said: “Mental Health Awareness Week is an opportunity for people to talk about all aspects of mental health, with a focus on providing help and advice.”

“We chose to fundraise for Derbyshire Mind because as a company we really believe in their cause.
