About Us
We have been supporting better mental health for all in Manchester for over thirty years.
We are Manchester Mind
Our purpose is to create a space where mental health comes first.
We believe that everyone deserves to be supported in their mental health needs and that we have a part to play in that.
We value the commitment of our staff and volunteers who work hard to ensure our services are delivered in a way that enables people to feel heard and involved.
We know Manchester well
We have been delivering services in the city since 1989 (previously as HARP), initially focusing on people living in Hulme, but over the years we have extended our services to meet the needs of people citywide. In 2011, we became one of over 100 Local Mind Associations, as we affiliated to national Mind.
Despite this, we remain an independent charity, governed by our own trustees.
You can find out more about how HARP was set up by reading our story. You can also find out more about Manchester Mind by looking through our history as told through a collection of objects specially selected by our staff to mark our 30th anniversary.
We now deliver a wide range of services to support people’s mental health and last year over 6,500 people received support, information and/or training from Manchester Mind.
Manchester Mind believes in the power of listening and being heard.
Tackling/challenging inequality, promoting social justice and supporting people to access their rights and entitlements is a crucial part of our history, our present and our future.
Over the years a lot has changed with regard to how we view mental health – it has a much higher profile and people are more comfortable talking about it. However, we know from people’s experiences that services and support are harder to find and to access.
We want to contribute to making that easier, so that people are able to get the help and support that they need at the time they need it. This plan will help us do that.
Our Beliefs and Values
Our core values underpin all aspects of our work at Manchester Mind. They were highlighted through a collaborative and participatory process by Manchester Mind staff and volunteers, building on strong themes already present at the organisation.
We believe…
In the power of listening and feeling heard
Everyone has value: something to offer
Everyone deserves to be supported in their mental health needs and we have a part to play in that
A better understanding of mental health, both personally and professionally, benefits everyone
Being open to learning and reflecting on experience can improve mental health services: there is no single “right way”
