Our vision

Where we want to get to:

We want those in our communities to have the best mental health.

This statement is more about what we aspire to – we aim to meet this vision in all we do, so that we can best support local people.

Our mission

How we plan to get there:

We will improve and promote positive mental health in our communities by:

• Providing leading mental health services to change lives
• Influencing the way mental health is perceived and supported

This mission is worded so that it meets the standards of the Charity Commission and gives a very broad overview of the overall aims of Mind BLMK. 

Our values

Respect 

• We will be considerate and engage with people appropriately by being open, honest, enabling, discreet and sensitive.

Inclusive

• We will engage with people in a way which recognises and embraces individuals’ differences by being non-judgemental and maintain professional standards.

Compassion

• We will be a compassionate professional by listening to and understanding people’s emotions, thoughts, and experiences. I will put myself in other people’s shoes to gain a deeper understanding, enabling me to respond appropriately.

Hope

• We will bring hope to others by being appropriately positive, optimistic, and motivational. I will take ownership for resolving problems, be a role model to others and set realistic expectations that create the best opportunities for all.

Did you know?

Mind BLMK is an independent charity, but we are affiliated to Mind nationally. This means that we meet high quality standards, have the benefits of the experiences and knowledge of a wide network of Mind associations but are able to work locally, to meet local needs. 

This video helps to explain what Mind does nationally and how local Mind associations, like Mind BLMK, support their communities.
