About Us

We provide support, guidance, and hope to individuals and families experiencing poor mental health across Hull, East Yorkshire and North East Lincolnshire.

We’re Hull and East Yorkshire Mind, your local mental health charity.

Founded in 1976, Hull and East Yorkshire Mind has been supporting people with their mental health and wellbeing for almost fifty years.

Whilst we operate as an independent charity and housing association, we are proud to be part of the larger Mind federation. This brings together over 100 local Mind associations across England and Wales, allowing us to draw on a vast network of expertise and resources. Our affiliation strengthens our ability to advocate for improved mental health care, influence policy changes, and collaborate with like-minded organisations to create a positive impact.

Mental health and wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do for all the communities we serve. We are committed to providing high quality, accessible, and person-centred support.  Our services designed to be inclusive, non-judgmental, and confidential, ensuring that people feel safe and supported throughout their mental health journey.

Alongside supporting people with their mental health, we also work with our wider community and partners to change the way people think and act about mental health, to reduce the sigma and discrimination that so many of us still face. Through our campaigns and events, we aim to educate people about mental health, inform them about our support and empower those of us who are struggling to reach out and get the help they need and deserve.

  • Our VISION: Better mental health for everyone.
  • Our AMBITION: To make it easier for people to ask for and receive support for their mental health.
  • Our PURPOSE: To be there, listen, understand, help, and fight for better mental health. Putting the person at the very heart of what we need to do.
