Today's #Budget24 misses a crucial opportunity to turn around the nation's mental health. And while the NHS boost is welcome, mental health must get its fair share of this essential investment.

Let me be clear, we @MindCharity do not support the mystery job coaches initiative which as far as we know is not a real thing. We support IPS which is already an offer to those people in secondary care not on wards! We want focus on the quality of inpatient care.

Delighted to be in Leicester today for the opening of our largest shop, our first coinvestment with @ageukleics, which has broken the record for the most taken on an opening day (so far). And with support from our partners Dunelm.

84% of people we spoke to said the cost-of-living crisis has made their mental health worse, due to:
👉Acute anxiety about meeting basic needs
👉Isolation from being unable to afford to travel
👉Having less access to healthy food & exercise.

Great @Dr_KatyJones piece setting out why Jobcentre support should focus on good jobs rather than just 'any job', the positive signs that the new government will make this shift, but the need for them to take on fundamental questions around conditionality futuresofwork.co.uk/2024/07/…

Charities and community organisations are often better placed and more trusted to meet local people’s needs than statutory services.
Here's how bringing local stakeholders together can lead to more effective and equitable support 👇
