The Foundation carries out research, develops and implements programmes and interventions, provides tools and resources for the population, and campaigns for political and societal change. The charity works across the UK and has offices in London, Glasgow and Cardiff. The Mental Health Foundation is celebrating its 70th birthday in 2019. HistoryIn 1949 Derek Richter, a neurochemist, and Ian Henderson, a stockbroker, formed the Mental Health Research Fund, with the aim of increasing research funding into mental health.[2] In 1972, the organisation took a step forward, shifting its focus away from laboratory research and towards working directly with – and learning from – people who experience mental health problems. The following year, it was renamed the Mental Health Foundation. The last decades of the 20th century saw the Foundation expanded its work as an information provider and campaigning organisation, promoting the idea that that good mental health and wellbeing is for everyone and not just those experiencing problems – a central tenet of its work today. The Mental Health Foundation continues to work at the forefront of mental health, often focusing on overlooked and under-researched areas such as personality disorders and mental health problems that affect black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) people and communities. Their public mental health campaigns on topics such as exercise and depression, diet, smoking, alcohol and friendship have raised awareness of their respective impacts on to mental health and helped to reduce the stigma associated with mental health problems. Mental Health Awareness WeekEach year, starting on the second Monday of May, the Mental Health Foundation hosts Mental Health Awareness Week, the UK’s national week to raise awareness of mental health and mental health problems and inspire action to promote the message of good mental health for all. Mental Health Awareness Week was first held in 2001 and has now become one of the biggest mental health awareness events in the world.[3] Mental Health Awareness Week 2019 will take place from Monday 13 to Sunday 19 May. The theme is Body Image – how we think and feel about our bodies.[4] Green ribbonThe green ribbon is an international symbol of mental health which has been adopted by the Mental Health Foundation to help create a movement for good mental health for all. The Mental Health Foundation's green ribbon ambassadors include Academy Award winner Olivia Colman, actor David Harewood, TV presenter Graham Norton and Great British Bake Off winner Nadiya Hussain.[5] The movement uses the hashtag #PinItForMentalHealth. Be MindfulMindfulness is part of the Mental Health Foundation’s strategy for a fresh emphasis on prevention, focusing on evidence-based solutions that work and have impact. Launched in 2010, Be Mindful delivers the elements of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) in an effective digital format. The Be Mindful course was created so that anyone, anywhere, can easily and effectively learn to practise mindfulness in daily life and enjoy the many benefits, including reduced stress, depression and anxiety. Be Mindful is NHS-approved and is currently listed on the NHS Apps Library, having been assessed and satisfying rigorous NHS quality standards for clinical effectiveness, safety, usability and accessibility.[6] FundingThe Foundation's total income for the financial year ending 31 March 2018 was £5.8m, with sources including donations (individual and corporate), legacies and grants.[7] OrganisationThe Mental Health Foundation is an incorporated UK charity headed by a board of 12 Trustees. Keith Leslie, the Chairman of the board of trustees was appointed in 2014. The current president of the Foundation is Dinesh Bhugra and the patron is Princess Alexandra, The Honourable Lady Ogilvy.
