Founded in 1949, the Mental Health Foundation is a leading UK charity that provides information, carries out research, campaigns and works to improve services for anyone affected by mental health problems, whatever their age and wherever they live.

Our vision

Our vision is a mentally healthy world where people are free from the suffering caused by mental illness.

Our mission

Our mission is to help people survive, recover from and prevent mental health problems. We do this by:

- learning what makes and keeps people mentally well
- communicating our findings to a wide range of people
- turning our research into practical solutions that make a difference to people's lives

Research Mental Health

Our Research Mental Health initiative calls for a radical increase in investment to research mental health. It has the backing of dozens of leading scientists and public figures including Alistair Campbell, Jo Brand, Ruby Wax, Tracey Emin, Stephen Fry, Melanie C and Mercury award winner Speech Debelle.

Show your support for the declaration and help us reach 10,000 sign ups to show the Government, the National Health Service, funding bodies, research institutions, the pharmaceutical industry and the third sector, why we need more investment in mental health research.

    "Sadly mental health problems are still such a taboo subject, despite being so widespread and the Mental Health Foundation is doing great work to change peoples attitudes to what is an important and serious issue and pushing for more investment into research."
