We're Norfolk and Waveney Mind, your local Mind mental health charity offering an extensive range of mental health services, along with associated training, advice and information. 

We offer a wide range of services including 1:1 talking therapies, gardening projects, access to employment services, mental health training and education for businesses, schools and individuals, residential care and support programmes.

We also work in our communities to raise awareness and challenge stigma and discrimination.  Our services support young people aged 14-25, adults and carers affected by mental ill health.

As a local Mind, we are an independent charity - we raise our own funds and we have our own Board of Trustees who are responsible for how we’re run.

Being local, we understand our community and tailor our services in response to what people need most.

Being part of the Mind network means we benefit from shared support, knowledge and ideas. Nationally, Mind gives advice and support to anyone who needs it, campaigns to improve services and raise awareness.

We work in partnership with Mind nationally and the other local Minds in our network to deliver high quality services to anyone who needs them.

Vision

All people are supported with their mental health to live a life that is meaningful to them.

Ambition Statement

No one should have to face poor mental health alone and that with the right support and resources anybody can create a life that feels meaningful to them.

Our Purpose

We promote well-being and work to reduce poor mental health and the stigma associated with it.

We support people in their recovery and champion better services for all.

To do this we share our own stories, insights and expertise.

Mind Quality Mark

Norfolk and Waveney Mind has been awarded the Mind Quality Mark (MQM). The MQM is a robust quality assurance framework created by Mind, the mental health charity.

MQM sets out the baseline of best practice and legal compliance in all areas of a local Mind's governance and activities. To achieve the MQM, a local Mind must meet or exceed all 24 key standards.

As a Local Mind we undergo a rigorous assessment which includes a thorough appraisal of organisational policies and procedures as well as a visit and interviews with trustees, staff, volunteers and people who use services. MQM is awarded when all standards are fully met.

The MQM provides assurance that local Minds across England and Wales are well-run organisations who meet Mind’s expectations of good practice, and in many cases excel beyond those expectations. It provides assurance that they are healthy, ambitious and strong in providing the highest quality support to people experiencing or at risk of developing mental health problems.

Our Governance

We are governed, led and managed to the highest standards, ensuring compliance with quality, legal and safeguarding requirements in accordance with our Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association, Charity Commission and Company law.

Our Values

Inclusive

We are available to support anyone and will work in an open-minded manner with this regard. We are fully committed to Equality & Diversity in our employment of staff and the delivery of all support we provide.

 

Responsive
