Norwich Mind is a registered mental health charity, founded in May 1966.
Our main purpose is to make effective support available to people with, and at risk of, mental ill-health. We do this by providing a wide range of service to improve the mental health and quality of life of people, especially the disadvantaged.
We are a progressive organisation and have very diverse programmes. At Norwich Mind, we see the person as a whole. We do not compartmentalize people. Our approach towards general wellbeing is holistic.
We have several projects that provide services to Black and Minority Ethnic groups: the Contact Project, Mind Body & Soul and the Diversity Project. Reaching disadvantaged and minority groups has been a driver in our organisation and this is why we are passionate about the Voices Project. It is a project that will achieve several goals of varying but linked nature: promote social inclusion and community cohesion, raise awareness and the profile of BME communities, promote diversity and lessen (or eliminate) incidences of racial discrimination by creating a project that will enable the participants to share their histories (personal and cultural) to people who have little or no experience of BME people.
