🌟 Norfolk and Waveney Mind’s 60th Anniversary: 60 Years of Support, 60 Years of Hope 🌟

In 2026, Norfolk and Waveney Mind celebrates 60 years of delivering mental health support to people across our region. Since 1966, we’ve worked to ensure that no one has to face poor mental health alone. 

This marks a major milestone for Norfolk and Waveney Mind, and throughout 2026, we’ll be reflecting on six decades of local impact, celebrating the people, stories, and moments that have shaped who we are today, while looking ahead to the future.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of our journey, including staff, volunteers, supporters, and those who have trusted us with their stories.

🌟 60 for 60🌟

To mark this milestone, we’re launching '60 for 60', a year-long fundraising and awareness campaign. 

'60 for 60' is a simple, inclusive campaign that encourages you to choose any challenge or activity themed around the number 60 — whether it's 60 minutes, 60 miles, £60 raised, or 60 acts of kindness.
 
It’s a fun, flexible way to support local mental health services in Norfolk and Waveney, helping us continue delivering vital crisis support, talking therapies, youth services, peer support, and community programmes.
