We are officially a Time to Change Wales Champion

We are now an official Time to Change Wales Champion.



The Time to Change Wales campaign is delivered by a partnership of two leading Welsh mental health charities, Mind Cymru and Hafal.



Mind Cymru is Mind's force for change in Wales. Informed in everything they do by people with direct experience of emotional distress they campaign vigorously to create a society that promotes good mental health and that challenges mental health stigma.

Hafal (meaning 'equal') is the principal organisation in Wales working with individuals recovering from serious mental illness and their families. They are managed by the people they support - individuals with serious mental illness and their carers.

Time to Change Wales is fully funded by the Welsh Goverment and will continue it's campaigning up to 2026.



We will be going all over Wales to talk about mental health and mental illness helping de-stigmatise what these terms mean. We have always said it. Having a mental health condition does not mean you have to crawl into a dark hole and stay there, we have plenty to offer people, our community and the World.

In today's times there are all kinds of treatments available to manage mental health conditions meaning people can go on to live good and productive lives. We are going to help Time to Change Wales campaign to help ease stigmatisation regarding mental health issues in Wales.
