Over 50 years ago, our charity was formed by a group of people who supported loved ones experiencing schizophrenia. For Carers Week 2025, we want to shine a spotlight on the amazing stories of carers from across England. If you have a story to tell, get in touch.

A team of 33 took on the London Marathon for Rethink Mental Illness on Sunday 27 April, shattering a record for us. We want to send them all the biggest thank you imaginable.

The Office for National Statistics have released suicide and self-harm data for LGB+ people in England and Wales for the first time ever. The numbers paint a grave picture.
