What is a local Mind?
Mind: What We Do
Local Minds are independent charities responsible for their own funding. We do this through donations, grants and income from the services we provide for local councils, the NHS and private organisations.
Each local Mind is unique. We understand the needs of their community and tailor our services to match. You can find out more about the network of local Minds through here.
