Mental Health Research UK is the first UK charity dedicated to raising funds for research into mental illnesses, their causes and cures.  MHRUK was registered as a charity in 2008 (Charity No: 1125538).

It is one of the few charities in the UK which gives 100% of all donations to our aim - in our case, research. No money donated is spent on admin, PR, or anything else.
