Become involved
We value your contribution. We ask people who can, to pay at least £15 (£6 unwaged) to cover the costs of membership. But we do not want your ability to pay to stop you from joining Rethink today, so you may also pay what you can.
As a member you can help to make a difference, however you want to be involved. This can be just by filling in a membership form, becoming a paid member of staff or a campaign volunteer, a Board of Trustees member, part of the regional committee, becoming a Rethink activist or a user of our services.
Your Voice
As a member you will receive our quarterly magazine ‘Your Voice’ which will keep you in touch with everything that’s going on in mental health, including new advances in treatment and care, our latest campaigns and news and events from around the country. You’ll also be adding your voice to over 8,300 people already committed to creating a better world for everyone affected by severe mental illness.
We work together to reach more people, improve more lives and change the way everyone affected by severe mental illness is regarded, treated and cared for. You’ll be helping us to influence the media, the Government and the public – and helping them to rethink.
And you’ll be helping shape Rethink for the future. The knowledge and experience of all our members is fundamental to the way we work and helps us focus our campaigning activities on issues that directly affect our members’ daily lives. We are already a powerful campaigning voice and we are dedicated to continuing the fight for change.
Together, we can cure the three biggest mental health problems – prejudice, ignorance and fear.
