History of York Mind
York Mind was formed in 2011 by the merger of Our Celebration and York & District Mind. At the time the two organisations had a combined age of 84 years and had already helped thousands of local people in their recovery from mental ill-health.
Our Celebration
Our Celebration started off in 1985 in the home of its founder, Emmy Burdon.
In those days, people living with a severe mental illness often spent time in hospital to get well, only to be discharged into the community with very little to keep them occupied or motivated.
After seeing this cycle of hospital treatment / discharge / isolation / relapse and back into hospital happen so many times, Emmy decided to start a support group in her own home that would give people some routine, a purpose, and importantly, a chance to socialise and be with other people.
In the early days, the group focused mainly on making things that could be sold – Christmas crackers and needlecraft items – it was a simple idea but it worked!
With this initial success, Emmy and her supporters worked determinedly to develop the organisation further, to influence local priorities and provide a safety net for some of the most excluded and vulnerable people within our community.
Over the years they secured contracts with a variety of funders, developed a learning and mentoring programme and expanded on its original client base of those living with schizophrenia, to include people recovering from a whole variety of mental illnesses.
In 1997, after much hard work a grant was secured from the National Lottery to build Highcliffe House, giving the organisation some security for the future and allowing them to develop their ability to help even further.
National Mind
Mind was originally known as ‘The National Association for Mental Health (NAMH)’ or ‘the Association’ this was established in 1946 by the merging of three major mental health organisations. In 1972, the name ‘MIND’ was adopted; and then changed again in the nineties to ‘Mind’.
Mind operates as a national body to which smaller organisations, pay a fee to affiliate too, by affiliating to the national body these smaller organisations gain the benefits of being part of a large national organisation but are also able to keep their independence, for example shared insurance, networking with like minded organisations and the ability to lobby national government.
Each local Mind association is an independent charity run by local people, for local people. Each is responsible for its own funding and the services it provides, but all are affiliated to Mind.
This affiliation ensures that each local organisation meets Mind’s quality standards of governance and service delivery, and that they work to further the shared mission.
Local Mind Associations (LMA’s) respond to issues within their communities in a range of ways, including:
• involvement in the planning of local mental health services
• local campaigning on mental health issues, linking with Mind’s national campaign work
• activities aimed to raise awareness of, and change attitudes towards, mental health.
We also work to help people improve their financial capability by delivering workshops to schools, colleges, and workplaces across Scotland.
