The difference we make

Do you want to create change alongside tens of thousands of campaigners? If so, become a campaigner today and help us challenge attitudes and change lives for people affected by mental illness.

We work with MPs across all political parties to campaign on the issues that matter to people severely affected by mental illness. Read about our work with the All Party Parliamentary Group on Mental Health, a cross-party group of MPs and peers with an interest in mental health.

The Mental Health Policy Group (MHPG) is an informal coalition of six national organisations working together to improve mental health through policy influencing activities at national level.

Thanks to local campaigners, Oxfordshire County Council recently abandoned their proposed £1m cuts to mental health funding. Frances, the group co-ordinator tells us how her group campaigned to oppose the cuts...and won.

Thanks to the efforts of our wonderful campaigners, we’ve had some important campaigning successes over the years, including the introduction of Seni’s Law and changes to policies on supported housing and benefits. Read about our campaign wins here!

Our Lived Experience Network aims to ensure that the voice of people living with mental illness, and their carers, is at the heart of our campaigns, so if you live with a mental illness yourself or care for someone who does, sign up to share your experiences.
