Vision & Mission

Our VISION is of a society that promotes and protects good mental health for all, and that treats people with experience of mental distress fairly, positively, and with respect.  The needs and experiences of people with mental distress drive our work and we make sure their voice is heard by those who influence change.  Our independence gives us the freedom to stand up and speak out on the real issues that affect daily lives.  We provide information and support, campaign to improve policy and attitudes and, in partnership with other agencies, develop local services.  We do all this to make it possible for people who experience mental distress to live full lives, and play their full part in society.

Our MISSION is to advance the views, needs and ambitions of people with mental health problems and to challenge discrimination and promoting inclusion.  We will influence policy and promote equal rights through campaigning and education and develop innovative quality services which reflect expressed need and diversity.
