Berry’s Jewellers Head of Operations is taking part in the ‘Oxby Pie-athon for Mind’!
02 May 2023
As part of Berry’s Jewellers support of Mind throughout 2023, our Head of Operations, Simon Oxby, has ‘volunteered’ to take part in the ‘Oxby Pie-athon for Mind’ during Mental Health awareness week, which runs from the 15th May to the 21st May 2023.
The staff, customers and trade friends will be able to donate £5 per throw of a pie in Simon’s face (which he says is insured for £5 million). Each pie will be hand made by the thrower and a little Berry’s and Mind logo placed on top of each pie before it goes on a trajectory to his face!
Simon has very kindly agreed that people can sponsor a pie for the same £5, to be thrown on their behalf - so distance is no object!
Please keep following our socials for details of the ‘Oxby Pie-athon for MIND’ and donate via our Just Giving fundraising page - Berry's Jewellers is fundraising for Mind or scan the QR code below.

Berry’s Jewellers is supporting Mind as they understand the devastating impact the pandemic, and now the cost-of-living crisis, has had on the nation’s mental health. More people than ever are experiencing a mental health problem and need support from Mind. The company hopes to raise £25,000 for this worthwhile cause with various fundraising efforts over the course of 2023, including our annual sponsored walk in September.
Simon Oxby, Head of Operations at Berry’s Jewellers said: “This partnership will be a great way for colleagues to get together and have some fun whilst also raising awareness and money for Mind. The money raised will help Mind to support those with a mental health problem and enable them to continue their vital work across England and Wales.”
Rebecca Hastings, Head of Corporate Partnerships at Mind said: “We are so grateful to Berry’s Jewellers for supporting Mind. One in four of us experience a mental health problem each year. The money raised will help support our vital services, like the Mind Infoline, and the campaigning we do so that no one has to face a mental health problem alone."
