Mental Health Foundation case study

Who are your charity and what you do? What impact has been made with the funds raised?

We work towards good mental health for all; as everyone knows, prevention is better than cure. Everything we do is focused on protecting people's mental health.

You and your community should be able to live life to the full. That's why we're continuing to find ways to prevent mental health problems.

We know that some communities are at higher risk of mental health problems due to the social, economic, and environmental circumstances they find themselves in. Much of our work challenges these mental health inequalities by helping those at the greatest risk.

Our work involves rigorous research and practical projects to identify what's most helpful, public information that empowers people to look after their mental health and influencing work to move policies in the right direction. Donations make this work possible, and will help us bring about a mentally healthy future for everyone.
