Lancashire Mind at 25
Celebrating Lancashire Mind’s journey and impact as we turn 25.
2025 marks a monumental milestone for Lancashire Mind as we celebrate 25 years of delivering life-changing mental health support across the county.
Since our inception in 2000, when three local Minds merged to create Lancashire Mind, we’ve been dedicated to improving mental wellbeing for all. Over the years, with the unwavering support of our community, we’ve helped over 50,000 individuals access vital mental health services.
However, the need for our work has never been greater. Currently, up to 400,000 people in Lancashire are living with a mental health condition. Children and young people in our region face significant barriers, with Lancashire ranking among the ten worst-performing areas for NHS mental health services. Tragically, suicide rates in Lancashire are higher than the UK average. These sobering statistics remind us why our mission remains as crucial today as it was 25 years ago.
Throughout 2025, we’ll embark on a year-long anniversary campaign to not only reflect on our impact but to rally our community for the work still to be done. We’ll share the voices and stories of ‘25 Lancashire Minds’ – people who have accessed our services, volunteered, or fundraised, highlighting the incredible resilience and spirit within our communities. We’ll introduce ‘25 Lancashire Mind Ambassadors’ – local champions who share our vision and will use their platforms to spread awareness and inspire action.
Additionally, we’re launching exciting fundraising challenges and events to empower everyone in Lancashire to get involved. From raising £2.50 to provide someone with a self-help resource booklet, to donating £250 to equip a classroom of children with vital coping strategies, every contribution will make a meaningful impact.
This year is not just a celebration of our past but a call to action for our future. With your support, we can continue to break down barriers, reduce stigma, and ensure that no one in Lancashire faces a mental health challenge alone.
Join us in making 2025 a year of transformation. Together, we can create a brighter, healthier future for Lancashire. Follow our journey and discover how you can be part of our 25th Anniversary campaign.
