In any given year, mental health problems will affect one in four people in the UK, responsible for the largest burden of disease in the country, affecting 28% of the population.

Mind in the City, Hackney and Waltham Forest (Mind CHWF) is driven by the needs of people experiencing mental distress, and we wont give up until everyone gets both support and respect.

Part of the community since 1981, we aim to empower people with experience of mental ill health, through the delivery of innovative and collaborative services. We support peoples' mental and physical wellbeing, resilience and recovery in the boroughs we serve.

While affiliated with National Mind, we are an independent charity, responsible for raising our own funds to support vulnerable people in our local areas.
