Mental Health

Thurrock and Brentwood Mind

They offer a wide range of services including well-being activities such as sketching or gardening, befriending support, crisis services, supported housing, and a carers service. This helps people to get the right support at the right time.  

A grant from us helped them to recruit, train and support 12 young people aged 17-20 with lived experience of mental health difficulties to become Volunteer Youth Champions within the charity. This has improved their self-confidence, and provided a role model and peer supporter for other young people with similar mental health experiences to look up to.
