As a leading charity provider of mental health services in England, we’re on a mission to bring about meaningful change: to our health and social care system, to the way society views mental illness, and to individual people’s lives across the country.
People affected by mental illness are at the heart of everything we do.
Their insight shapes our advice, information, and hundreds of groups and services – from housing to employment, carer support to legal advice.
Their courage drives our campaigns to change the law and tackle discrimination. And the rich diversity of their experience helps us make sure that our services are accessible to everyone – whatever their background or identity.
We know people severely affected by mental illness can have a good quality of life. With your support, we will make that possible.

What I enjoy most about working at Rethink is the shared sense of purpose. People genuinely care about what they do. The culture feels values-led rather than corporate, and there’s space to be human at work.
