Our campaigns

We'll fight your corner. We believe everyone with a mental health problem should be able to access excellent care and services. We also believe you should be treated fairly, positively and with respect.

Children and young people's mental health campaigns

We are campaigning to make sure every child or young person gets the mental health care they deserve.

Our five tests for UK Government

The peak of the coronavirus pandemic may have passed, but we’re now experiencing a mental health emergency. We're asking the government to meet our five tests to make sure mental health is a priority.

Statutory Sick Pay

We should all be able to take time off work when we are unwell. But those of us with mental health problems face a sick pay system that risks plunging us into poverty and pushing us out of work altogether.

Benefits

Support from benefits can give people help to live with independence and dignity. However, many of you have told us that you aren't getting the support you need, and that negative stereotypes of people on benefits means you aren't being treated fairly or with respect.

Leaving hospital

When you leave hospital after a mental health crisis, you need the right care and support to help you recover. Too many people aren't getting it.

Housing

You'll have heard about the UK's housing crisis in the news. But what you don't often hear, is that people living with mental health problems face more problems than most.

EFL partnership

We are the charity partner of the English Football League. We are working with the EFL, clubs and club trusts to promote awareness and understanding of mental health amongst football fans, and to help more people living with mental health problems access the support they need.

Heads Together

We're a proud charity partner of the Heads Together campaign. Led by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry, Heads Together aims to change the national conversation on mental health.

A Million Hands

We're working together with the Scouts as part of their A Million Hands programme, so that more young people can learn about mental health.

Investing in Mental Health

Poor mental health can make earning and managing money harder. And worrying about money can make your mental health worse. We're supporting people with mental health problems to stay well by alleviating financial difficulty.
