Lighter-Minds UK was founded as 'Mind Space MK' in Milton Keynes, April 2019, run at the Unity Park Station every 2 weeks by co-founders and best friends Charlotte Appleby and Ray Haiden. They undertook suicide prevention training with mind, self-funding the launch of their community group. The founders run bi-weekly sessions, online support, self-help resources, crisis line (e-mail, phone and video chat). Lighter-Minds UK tries to source speakers with personal or professional experience in Mental Health. They also provide free refreshments and snacks.
