WeDonate Partners with BetterHelp to Support Donor Mental Health
At WeDonate, supporting donors means caring about more than just the donation.
That is why we are partnering with BetterHelp, one of the world’s largest online therapy platforms, as our lead sponsor for online therapy, helping blood and plasma donors access professional mental health support in a way that works around everyday life.
Why this partnership matters
Donating blood is an incredible act of generosity. But it does not always happen when life feels calm or predictable. Many donors are balancing work, family, health, and community commitments, often all at the same time.
This partnership reflects that reality. By working with a leading online therapy provider, WeDonate is helping make professional mental health support more accessible for donors, particularly during periods of stress or pressure.
Who is BetterHelp?
BetterHelp is one of the world’s largest online therapy platforms, connecting people with credentialed therapists through video, phone, live chat, and messaging. As our lead sponsor for online therapy, BetterHelp brings extensive experience, quick therapist matching, and flexible scheduling to the WeDonate community, helping reduce common barriers to accessing support.
Impact through our sponsorship programme
Through this sponsorship programme, BetterHelp’s investment will play an integral role in helping WeDonate expand its donor community and strengthen the overall donor experience. By enabling us to reach and support more individuals who give blood and plasma, BetterHelp will directly contribute to improving both the scale and sustainability of the UK’s donor network.
This partnership will also focus on donor wellbeing, ensuring that those who give are supported emotionally and mentally throughout their journey. When donors feel valued, cared for, and connected to a greater purpose, they are more likely to continue donating regularly. The impact of that support extends far beyond the donors themselves, it touches the lives of patients who depend on these vital donations every day.
What WeDonate members get
Through this partnership, WeDonate members will be able to access BetterHelp’s online therapy with an exclusive offer created specifically for donors. Offer is valid for new users only. Therapy can be accessed from home and arranged around donation appointments, work shifts, and family commitments, allowing support to fit naturally into daily life.
How it supports donor wellbeing
BetterHelp therapists can support a wide range of challenges, including stress, anxiety, low mood, burnout, life transitions, and relationship difficulties. Therapy is delivered through established talking approaches, including CBT, offering practical and personalised support.
Positioning BetterHelp as our lead sponsor for online therapy reflects WeDonate’s wider commitment to donor wellbeing, recognising that those who care for others should also have access to meaningful mental health support.
