ALT Pale orange background with a dark orange box with the text: You may have noticed we've been quiet on here. We've enjoyed running some of our biggest campaigns and activities on X over the years, such as #UniMentalHealthDay. However, we've reflected with our supporters, and we've decided that X is no longer the best place to reach our audiences and create the change we need to create in student mental health. With a yellow underline under change and a blue arrow pointing to the next image. @StudentMindsOrg is written in black, bottom centre.

But we will still be posting loudly to ensure no student is held back by their mental health, and supporting whole-university approaches to mental health and wellbeing on our other accounts. You can still engage with us on our website, via email and on our other social media accounts. With a yellow underline under no student. @StudentMindsOrg is written in black, bottom centre.

ALT Text reads: “Achieving a UMHC Award is not about being perfect – it’s about making a genuine, sustained commitment to improvement. It reflects the hard work, dedication, and collaboration of staff and students who have come together to embed mental health at the heart of university life. We are incredibly proud of the progress these institutions have made and the work they will continue to do to support their communities.” Rosie Tressler OBE, CEO Student Minds

ALT Text reads: “I am thrilled and incredibly proud that the University has successfully achieved this Award. Not only is this testimony to the ground-breaking work we are doing internally, but it also speaks volumes about our approach to work with our partners in the public, private and voluntary sectors across the city and beyond. Taking part in this process has continued to enhance our mental health services, especially through the UMHC Framework, which helped drive improvements in our approach across the university. Achieving the UMHC Award confirms that approach’s success and is testament to the continuous hard work of our university community across our campuses.” Simon Lee, Student Journey’s Assistant Director for Student Support Services University of Sunderland

ALT Text reads: “We embraced the University Mental Health Charter Award application process because we wanted a rigorous assessment - by ourselves and then by Student Minds, of our mental health and wellbeing support across all activities and contexts. It was important that this was for both students and staff and grounded in research-evidence best practice. We wanted to identify strengths, but, more importantly, areas we could work on to improve the university environment for our whole community. Our expectations were more than met: a wide range of things we do well were identified, as well as improvements we can make across the long- and short-term. It is an on-going process, but we have started on this important journey #with Student Minds, and we are thrilled to have received the University Mental Health Charter Award” Professor Elizabeth McCrum, Pro-Vice Chancellor (Education & Student Experience) University of Reading
