By getting our message of hope out there, this partnership has chipped away at the stigma that prevents people from getting help when they need it. Thank you to every 👏 single 👏 person 👏 who entered the draw.

Updates to the outdated Mental Health Act have been long overdue. And, in case you missed it, today the government introduced a new Mental Health Bill in an attempt to do just that. There's still a huge way to go but this is a crucial first step. With the UK's suicide rate at its highest in over 20 years, it's clear we need to do better for people in crisis. What happens after someone leaves inpatient care matters – 14% of mental health patient suicides happen within three months of discharge. That’s why treatment plans need to reflect real-life challenges and learnings from the National Inquiry into Suicide and Safety in Mental Health. Because everyone deserves more than just a safety net – they deserve fair, accessible and effective mental health treatment.
