About us

Hammersmith, Fulham, Ealing and Hounslow Mind is a Local Mind Association. Mind operates a federated structure of Local Mind Associations, which are independent charities with their own funding and services. We share the same values as Mind, and we are regularly reviewed to make sure our charity is maintaining local Mind quality standards, so that we are providing local and effective services which meet the needs of our local community.

• We’re here to make sure that everyone suffering with a mental health problem gets the help they need to recover.
• We listen, support recovery, fight stigma and work with partners to take action.
• We provide services for adults, children and young people, signposting for everyone and training and consultancy for employers.

Hammersmith, Fulham, Ealing and Hounslow Mind has been awarded the Mind Quality Mark 2021-24.

The Mind Quality Mark is a rigorous quality assurance standard. It sets the bar of good practice and legal compliance for all organisations in the Mind Federation.

Once every three years, local Minds are reviewed against the Mind Quality Mark standards. The reviews are led by people with lived experience of mental health problems and senior leaders from other local Minds. They are based on a robust assessment of documentary evidence as well as interviews with and survey responses from trustees, staff, volunteers, and people who use services.

To achieve the Mind Quality Mark, local Minds must be well-run organisations delivering safe, life-changing support for people with mental health problems.
