Our Vision:

Our purpose is to facilitate voluntary sector organisations to work together to improve service delivery in the North of England mental health sector. MHNE strives to strengthen the role of the mental health voluntary sector on a regional basis through the promotion of best practice in mental health in partnership with service users and carers and through joint working and partnerships across the mental health community & VCS.

Our organisation is built around a core belief that a strong, vibrant, diverse, yet united voluntary and community sector is essential for the development of mental health services and for the improvement of the emotional health and wellbeing of this region.

MHNE works collectively with members to improve and protect mental health service provision. We pride ourselves on having an open minded approach to innovative approaches which will enable people suffering from mental distress to move quickly towards recovery.
