Time to Change

Time to Change is England's most ambitious programme to end the discrimination face by people who experience mental health problems, as well as improve the nation's wellbeing.
Mind, Mental Health Media and Rethink are leading this programme of 35 projects, funded with £18m from the Big Lottery Fund and Comic Relief and evaluated by the Institute of Psychiatry at King's College, London.

The programme is founded on an international evidence base, and has people with direct experience of mental health problems at its heart. Local community projects work alongside a national high-profile campaign, a mass participation physical activity week, legal test cases, training for student doctors and teachers and a network of grassroots activists combating discrimination.

PACE aims to work in partnership with all sectors and communities in order to tackle a long lingering taboo and one of the greatest social injustices.Find out more information on the national Mind website at; www.time-to-change.org.uk.
