As today, 5 September, is International Day of Charity and with World Suicide Prevention Day next week (10 September), we would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of our supporters, fundraisers, partners and staff.

At Mates in Mind, we advocate for a prevention strategy which builds positive mental health in and through work. However, this is just part of the comprehensive provision we offer, in order to ensure that individuals are able to seek much-needed support if they are at the point of crisis, we provide a free, 24/7 text service. To use the service, simply text BeAMate to 85258.

It costs just £50 per day to run this important service which could, one day, support you, your colleague, friend or family member when they most need it. If you are able to contribute, please do
