Take a look at this short video clip (90 seconds), which explains what the Mind federation does nationally and locally.
Mind is the leading mental health charity in England, Wales and the Channel Islands. Together, as a federation, we provide advice and support to empower anyone experiencing a mental health problem and campaign to improve services, raise awareness and promote understanding.
Together, we can reach more people in more places and become an even more powerful force for good.
West Kent Mind is proud to be affiliated to Mind. We contribute to an ambitious and thriving national federation of local Minds, national Mind and Mind Retail.
As a local Mind we have our own independent charitable status. Find out more about West Kent Mind’s vision, mission, values and strategic goals here.
Mind Quality Mark
West Kent Mind has been awarded the Mind Quality Mark (MQM). The MQM is a robust quality assurance framework created by Mind, the mental health charity.
MQM sets out the baseline of best practice and legal compliance in all areas of a local Mind’s governance and activities. To achieve the MQM, a local Mind must meet or exceed all key standards.
Local Minds undergo a rigorous assessment which includes a thorough appraisal of organisational policies and procedures as well as a visit and interviews with trustees, staff, volunteers and people who use services. MQM is awarded when all standards are fully met.
The MQM provides assurance that local Minds across England and Wales are well-run organisations who meet the Mind federation’s expectations of good practice, and in many cases excel beyond those expectations. It provides assurance that we are healthy, ambitious and strong in providing the highest quality support to people experiencing or at risk of developing mental health problems.
