Our partnerships

We work closely with businesses, charitable trusts and public bodies to form mutually beneficial partnerships that have real impact. By bringing our expertise and passion together, we reach and support people living with mental illness, get people thinking differently about severe mental illness, and raise money for our life-changing work. 

Rethink Mental Illness is built on a foundation of community support. We began with a single peer support group which still runs to this day. Today, we work with a wide range of businesses, such as Pension Insurance Corporation, Capital One, Liberty Speciality Markets and Berkeley St Edward. Their amazing fundraising efforts  support such peer support group, not to mention the countless local services that change people’s lives every day.  

We work with our partners to empower and enhance their employees and customers to better understand mental health issues and to manage their own mental health.

We do this by: 

• Supporting with strategic mental health policy planning  
• Organising colleague fundraising events  
• Helping with key awareness day activation 
• Hosting Q&A events  
• Delivering face-to-face training and e-learning courses on topics such as
   
  • Mental Health First Aid
  • Mental Health Awareness for Managers
  • Mindfulness and Resilience in the Workplace.

Our funding

Each year, we receive a very small portion of our overall funding from pharmaceutical companies. These gifts are only ever accepted on the basis that they support our work without compromising it.

We also stipulate to pharmaceutical companies that any discussions about funding will remain separate from any talks about medication and treatments; as a matter of principle, we never endorse any drugs or treatments. For more details please see our funding page
