Over half of people with a learning disability have a mental health problem.
These mental health issues are often driven by factors such as isolation or discrimination, which disproportionally affect people with learning disabilities.
This is a hidden epidemic of trauma affecting some of the most vulnerable people in society.
Help change this by donating to our Kind2Mind appeal from 14 to 28 May, with every donation instantly doubled for free.
Strong mental health is often closely linked to someone having a happy, purposeful life that is shared with others.
Your support can ensure our life coaching and crisis support continues to help people with learning disabilities to tackle mental health issues and build healthy minds.
Skilled support workers will be there to give people emotional support at their lowest ebb, but also to help them plot a route to a happy life where they strive to achieve their dreams.
We help people identify what relationships they want to build, hobbies they want to pursue or job they would like to land.
With your help we can be with people every step of the way to help people ensure that their healthy mind leads to a happy life.
Save the date: 14 to 28 May to have your donation doubled.
