Cardiff Mind is a mental health charity originally constituted in June 1963, however, in March 1993 the company was incorporated as a company limited by guarantee and in May of that year was again registered as a Charity with the Charity Commission.
Cardiff Mind is based in the heart of Cardiff, and operates an open referral system which enables potential service users to not only access services via Statutory Sector Routes such as Health and Local Authority but also from Third Sector Partners and most importantly from the individuals and their carers. Our only criteria is that people should be aged over 18, are Cardiff residents and are or have been experiencing difficulties with their mental health.
There’s a network of over 100 Local Minds across England and Wales, offering specialised support and care based on the needs of their communities. Local Minds operate under a Federated Structure to deliver services and support to the Mind movement’s shared values.
We have a track record in developing and delivering quality services to people experiencing mental distress, and we want to ensure that those who need the support of mental health services are provided with sufficient opportunity to engage with appropriate and diverse services, and also tackle accompanying factors that contribute to social exclusion.
