There has never been a greater need for Mind than the current times. Mental health problems in England and Wales and across Europe are on the rise: by 2021, depression will be the leading cause of health problems in Europe and the cost of poor mental health to our society is in excess of £110bn.
To provide services and support to anyone affected by or vulnerable to mental illness, improving their quality of life and wellbeing.
Mind in Somerset aims to promote good mental health and wellbeing, to provide a voice, and champion a greater understanding of mental health issues in the community, whilst operating to the highest standards of governance and best practice.
Mind in Somersets Vision and Values apply not only to all our service provision but also to how we treat each other and how we are as an employer.
Our Values provide a Framework for not only what we do but how we do it.
Mind in Somerset is part of a network of over 100 Local Minds who each tailor trusted mental health services to our communities. We are an independent charity and we set our own strategies and partnerships and rely on the support of our brilliant local fundraisers. We raise money through donations, grants and income from the services we provide.
We collaborate with National Mind to make sure their pioneering campaigns, information and research makes a difference in Somerset. Together, we make better mental health possible both locally and nationally.
As a Local Mind, our membership to the National Mind Federation requires that we follow the Mind Quality Mark. This is monitored by National Mind and ensures certain consistencies across the Federation. This process makes sure that we are well run and meet all our stakeholders’ expectations.
But no Local Mind is an island. We need to work together both with National Mind and with other Local Minds, especially those in the South West. This will allow us to maintain and increase our collective impact, while delivering the best for people who depend on our services.
