In solidarity and support
We know the last few weeks have been particularly difficult for many.
As a local mental health charity deeply rooted in our diverse community, we have been profoundly saddened by the recent racist and Islamophobic riots and attacks experienced across the UK. We stand in solidarity with those who have been harmed, frightened, or made to question their sense of belonging in their own neighbourhoods. If you’ve been personally impacted by the racist riots and violence, we hope you’re doing as well as you can be right now.

We know that mental health support alone is not enough to address the deep-rooted causes of racism in all its forms. However, as a leading local mental health charity we wanted to share some resources and sources of support that we hope you might find helpful.

Our mission at Mind in Kingston is more important than ever. We will continue to uplift our communities in kindness and dignity.
We fight for mental health. For support. For respect. For you.
