What we do
We inform
We empower people with life-changing information – helping them understand mental health, make informed choices, and feel less alone in their journey.
We support
From helplines to local Minds, we're here when it matters most – offering real help, real people, and real hope every step of the way.
We fight
We raise our voices, stand up to injustice, and push for lasting change – because everyone deserves a mental health system that truly cares.
Why we're needed
Devastating benefit cuts
In March 2025, the UK government announced plans to cut at least £4.8 billion from social security.
These cuts could hit people with mental health problems hard - making it harder to cope, stay connected, or take steps toward recovery.
That’s why we’re urging supporters to contact their MP and speak out against these cuts.
Young people deserve better
1 in 5 young people have a mental health problem. And often, they can’t get support when they first need it.
The earlier a young person gets support for their mental health, the more effective that support will be.
We're calling on the UK government to fund a network of early support hubs for young people across England.

Mental health hospitals are broken
Buildings are crumbling. Wards are often bare, cold and rundown. And people’s voices are being ignored. It’s time to make mental health hospitals safe.
Our Raise the Standard campaign is fighting to make mental health hospitals safe. They should be places of understanding, kindness and hope. Places where people feel respected and cared for.
I think Mind is an amazing cause that just helps. It provides information, it provides toolkits of what to do in a crisis and gives you all the information for carers as well.

I called up the Mind support line quite a few times and the people on there were really lovely. It was just someone to talk to, and they’d be a signpost for different services. They made me feel empowered and safe, and that there was a way forward. That really meant a lot to me.
