What we do

Mental Health UK has been supporting people affected by mental health problems for over 40 years. Working across the UK, we bring together experts from four national mental health charities to improve understanding and provide vital care.

Advice

Our Mental Health and Money Advice service provides UK-wide support to those living with mental health and money problems. The first service of its kind, it’s helped thousands of people understand, manage and improve their financial situation as well as their mental health.

Information

We provide simple information about mental health and mental illness as well as how to seek support. Our ‘On The Inside’ information guides have an estimated reach of 5.4 million people. By turning this into a digital platform too, we have been able to reach more people and tackle the myths about mental health problems.

Support Groups

Each support group is run by volunteers with experience of living with mental health problems. Groups are uniquely developed to care for the needs of local members. They reduce the isolation that can come with mental illness and provide a safe space to talk openly without discrimination.

Benefits of Payroll Giving

There are lots of benefits to offering a Payroll Giving scheme for your employees and every employer in the UK can start a scheme regardless of your size. Research shows that donating to charity or simply being kind helps mental health and general wellbeing. More than £2 billion has been donated through Payroll Giving by over 1 million employees.
