Donate to stand up for our communities this Mental Health Awareness Week

Being part of a safe, positive community is vital for everyone’s mental health. Yet too many people in our society are isolated, cut off from their local support networks and mental health care, and struggling to cope.    

Over the last decade our communities have become splintered, public health measures have vanished and the basic building blocks of good mental health, like affordable and quality housing, or good wages, have been torn apart. 

More than 2 million people are now waiting for mental health support, with our health services clearly not coping with the rise.  

Now, further cuts to communities are endangering mental health and removing vital support from people across the county. We must not allow this to happen.  

We must tackle the causes of poor mental health, and our communities are at the forefront of this fight.

We know how powerful communities can be in protecting mental health. Statistics show that people who are more socially connected to family, friends, or their community are happier, physically healthier, and live longer, with fewer mental health problems than people who are less well connected.  

We see this everyday in our own community programmes. When people are left without support and nowhere to turn our projects provide safe spaces, and train community members how to protect mental health.  It’s life-changing, and sometimes life-saving support. 

But right now we can’t reach everyone who needs us. Help us empower our communities this Mental Health Awareness Week, with a donation today.
