Dear friend,
This month we’ve launched new research exploring how larger charities can support the essential work of grassroots organisations, by providing them with easier access to sustainable funding. The briefing highlights major opportunities for tackling mental health inequalities by targeting funding where it can make the biggest difference.
During Pride month, we’ve also been highlighting the mental health inequalities faced by LGBTQIA+ communities, and have published a blog on the importance of care and solidarity in confronting these injustices.
In the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, the cost-of-living crisis and many years of austerity, it’s no surprise that mental health in England has deteriorated in recent years. But we were still deeply concerned to see this confirmed in the latest Adult Psychiatric Morbidity Survey. Charging ahead with reducing people’s eligibility for disability benefits will likely worsen this picture. We’re urging the Government to change course and focus on rebuilding the nation’s mental health.
