What do local Minds in Wales do?
‘One size fits all’ doesn’t work for mental health, which is why local Mind support is shaped around you and your community. Sometimes help can mean life changing therapy, counselling or education - just when you need it most.
And sometimes it’s the simple things that make the biggest difference: sharing advice and information, talking things over or introducing you to people who really understand.
We want everyone in Wales to have better mental health. That’s why Mind and local Minds exist.
We have a local Mind in every single local authority in Wales. And we also have a local Mind in each of the 7 local Health Board footprints.
Every local Mind is different. Services are based on what communities need. This means what’s available may vary from one local Mind to another.
Through good times and bad, local Minds bring hope to communities across Wales. And they’ve got the skills, experience and expertise to help every one of us who needs it.
"I can hand on heart say my local Mind not only kept me alive, they kept me alive and in my home with my children. I now know I deserve to be happy."

How can I support my local Mind?
Being independent charities, local Minds raise their own funds.
Each local Mind has a board of trustees, volunteering their time to set the organisational strategy.
You can help your local Mind to do more by fundraising. Giving locally means your donation will support your community.
Use the local Mind finder at the top of this page to get the contact details of your closest local Mind.
To find out more about ways of working together or all-Wales funding, contact our Head of Networks (Wales), Simon Stephens.
