Why Mind?
Mind is the leading mental health charity in England and Wales and by joining our team you will enable us to continue to provide support to the 1 in 4 people who experience mental distress in their life times.
£150 would help support a local Mind association to provide training programmes and work experience for people recovering from mental illness, increasing their confidence and giving them real employment opportunities.
