Mind in London
Who we are
We are Mind in London. A partnership of 17 local Minds working across London's boroughs supporting people to live well, feel valued and fulfilled.
We believe everyone has the right to live happily and healthily - we stand together to make sure every Londoner experiencing mental health problems gets support and respect.
Why we work together
We are the voice of mental health in London. Together, we give a stronger voice to Londoners living with mental health problems, challenge stigma and inequalities, and deliver real change.
We are mental health specialists with grassroots connections; we can build on our local knowledge to deliver a vision for London led by lived experience by taking a pan London approach.
Our combined expertise allows us to reach more Londoners with quality services that are accessible wherever they live.
We work in partnership to support innovation to deliver more together than we could as individual organisations.
Guided by lived experience
Our Lived Experience Advisory Group supports and informs our work. The group is made up of Londoners with lived experience of having a mental health problem. They share their experiences of accessing and using mental health services.
The group meets regularly with support from Mind in London and a lived experience coach from Mind.

Our values
- Inclusive – with focus and openness, we will reach out to all of London’s diverse communities.
- Partnership – we share learning, best practice and connections with transparency and honesty.
- Influence – together, we speak out to challenge stigma and deliver change.
- User-led – our service users and people with lived experience are at the heart of everything we do.
Local Minds across London have a long tradition of working together and supporting each other for many years, and in recent times our collaboration has become stronger. Post pandemic, we understand the growing need for mental health services across London. More than ever, this means working together to campaign and influence for change, while listening to our Lived Experience Advisory Group to ensure we’re providing the services that meet the diverse mental health needs of communities across London. We're Mind in London. We’re here to fight for mental health. For support. For respect. For you.
