What our Philanthropists say:

Margaret and her husband David began supporting Mind three years ago, following the death of their daughter, Anna, who lived with anorexia and depression for many years.

“We wanted to help support an organisation that is an expert in all aspects of mental health. Mind fitted the criteria of being well-run. It has a good reputation. In a small way, we’re making a difference to the stigma associated with mental illness. It has helped our grief by openly committing to Mind.”

The Ellerdale Trust award grants to local charities in the UK, but have also been supporting Mind for 14 years.

“We are moved and motivated to support Mind because of the national impact they have on stigma, raising awareness of mental health in general, and their ability to influence governmental policies and budgets. We are always impressed with the very clear vision of what Mind wants to accomplish.”
