- We give advice to millions of people on mental health. We are most well-known for running Mental Health Awareness Week across the UK each year. We enable mentally healthier lives through public information and engagement.
- ** Change policy and practice**:

- We propose solutions and campaign for change to address the underlying cause of poor mental health.
- ** Build a strong foundation**:

- We aim to become an exemplar employer and aim to continue to build an organisation that is financially sustainable and thriving.

We have pioneered change for over 70 years and we are not afraid to challenge the status quo. **_Come join us_**
