Time To Talk Mental Health UK has announced its annual fundraiser with a £2 Eurovision Song Contest sweepstake, with half the proceeds supporting mental health services.
Why it matters: The community-based charity provides vital support for thousands of adults across the UK who are struggling with mental health or mental illness, offering "consistent support, which is otherwise lacking in the mental health care package."
How it works: Each £2 entry receives three randomly assigned countries from the 37 participating in Eurovision, with prizes determined by how well those countries perform in the final.
Half of all donations go directly to the charity
Half will be distributed as prizes
Each entry receives three country allocations

The details: The Eurovision final takes place on 17 May 2025, with semifinals on 13 and 15 May. Entries must be made and paid for before Sunday 11 May.
The bottom line: Time To Talk provides a "safe place for people to talk about their mental health in confidence with others who understand," with the Eurovision fundraiser helping to support events, regular clubs and a library of resources.
