Our Centenary Campaign
Cam-mind is using its Centenary year to raise awareness
of mental health issues, together with urgently needed funds
for new and existing projects.
We have set a fundraising target of £100,000
and we are focusing on four key areas for expansion:
- We are looking to launch a much needed mental health
awareness programme, offering workshops and training to
schools and businesses in Cambridgeshire.
- We want to expand our one-to-one befriending service,
to meet the ever increasing demand - particularly in rural
areas.
- We'd like to expand our rural outreach projects, and
provide transport where necessary, so that more people
in isolated areas can access our services.
- And we hope to build on our existing range of Cambridge-based
community projects, to include new service user- led support
groups that meet the needs of particularly isolated mental
health service users - such as parents with young children.
Cam-mind is the longest established mental health charity
in Cambridge, supporting local people with mental health problems
since 1908. |

Cam-Mind:
Who are help? |

1in4 people
At least one in four people in the UK will experience mental
health problems of some sort during their lifetime. That's
nearly 30,000 people in Cambridge City alone.
Mental health problems can happen to anyone, whatever their
age, profession or background. Many people make a complete
recovery, while for others recovery is about learning to
live with symptoms in the longer term.
Either way, with the right opportunities, support and understanding,
it can also be about living fulfilled and active professional,
social and family lives... Just like anybody else.
Cam-mind is affiliated to - but not funded by - National
Mind, and we are committed to challenging the prejudices
that undermine recovery from mental health problems.
