Hello from Sarah!
Dear friends,

Today we’ve shared a new briefing ([link removed]) of our key priorities for candidates standing in the upcoming local elections. We’re asking all candidates to show their commitment to mental health by including these ideas ([link removed]) in their manifestos. Please get in touch with your candidates and ask them to commit to improving mental health in your community!

Be sure to check out our
latest podcast ([link removed]) with the amazing Poppy Jaman OBE, CEO of City Mental Health Alliance and one our trustees, exploring the building blocks of changing the system and supporting better mental health within racialised communities.

Finally, we're looking for an
economist who’s passionate about mental health and social justice to join our team! To help us drive change in mental health, apply here ([link removed]) .

Take care,
