Practical support for a healthy mind, when life gets hard.
You don’t have to figure this out on your own. Our workshops give you real, usable tools you can start using in your own life straight away, tools for building resilience and making everyday coping easier.
Since coming to us, people tell us they’ve:
- Grown in confidence
- Learned to hold their boundaries
- Challenged their negative thoughts
- Started managing their anxiety
- Found their motivation again
- Quietened their busy minds
Most of all, they’ve learned to like themselves again.
Is this for you?
You might be feeling stressed or anxious. Maybe support that was helping is coming to an end and you’re not ready to go it alone. Maybe you’re rebuilding after a hard chapter, illness, job loss, divorce, caring for someone, any big life change. Or maybe you’re already determined to keep going, but know you’d get there faster with the right guidance.
If any of that’s you, you’re in the right place.

Help us to help more people
One in four of us will experience poor mental health at some point in our lives. Whether it’s a colleague, family member, friend or neighbour, mental health affects every community and every workplace.
At Healthy Minds Matter, we believe everyone deserves access to practical, professional mental health support before problems reach crisis point.
Employee mental health costs UK businesses £51 billion per annum. Businesses that invest in their community’s wellbeing help create healthier workplaces, stronger communities and brighter futures. They also directly benefit from a healthier workforce with fewer sick days.
By sponsoring one of our programmes, you are helping local people learn practical strategies that build robust, resilient people. Your support demonstrates a genuine commitment to improving mental health across our local community.
A donation of £199 enables us to support up to 20 local people with their confidence and coping strategies to tackle life’s challenges, reducing the risk of poor mental health affecting their relationships, work and daily lives.
£796 enables us to provide up to 20 local people with 4 one-hour sessions of practical mental health focused workshops. By giving people practical tools and ongoing support over several weeks, this programme helps participants make lasting changes, improving their ability to engage in family life, employment, education or volunteering while reducing reliance on crisis services.
£4,975 – enables us to deliver up to 20 local people with a 6 month community wellbeing programme. Your investment provides sustained support that helps people create lasting change. Participants are better able to remain in work, return to employment, volunteer within their communities, improve family relationships and reduce the likelihood of reaching crisis point or repeatedly needing statutory mental health services. Together we can help reduce the ‘revolving door’ of repeated mental health crises while building stronger, healthier and more resilient communities.
Your investment doesn’t just fund a workshop, it helps someone stay in work, regain confidence, reconnect with their family, reduce loneliness and become an active member of their community again. Every programme is designed to create lasting change, not just temporary support.

What our clients say
“I find the group element really beneficial… Having the opportunity to meet new people is fantastic in helping me meet my need for socialisation. It is also helpful to hear other people’s life experiences and how they can be both similar and totally different. There’s still something that I can learn and take away from their stories.”
“It’s lovely to be in coaching sessions… hearing other people’s challenges and ideas often give ideas for your own situation. Nice to know not alone in these feelings. Negative thinking and self-care have been big ones for me.”
“I was just saying yes to everyone. I thought it was the easiest way out, but I’ve learned so much about myself in these sessions. I’m not going to be swept under the carpet anymore.”
“I’m not alone.”
“Putting myself first instead of justifying myself all the time. Not being so hard on myself. Making time to do something nice for me.”
“I’m focusing on the things I can implement.”
