Our vision is that no one in Bradford District and Craven has to face a mental health issue alone.

Bradford District and Craven Mind are a local mental health charity with a rich history spanning over 30 years of delivering person-focused mental health support.

  • We are an independent registered charity that is affiliated with national Mind but we rely on our own resources to provide local services.
  • Our services are tailored to our local population and can be accessed over the phone, online and face-to-face. Support is free to individuals and available every day of the year to anyone who needs help with their mental health and wellbeing.
  • We offer support to everyone in our communities helping people of all ages at each step of their mental health journey from early intervention through to crisis support and recovery.

Mission: To make the best possible difference to the mental health and wellbeing of the greatest number of people.

Impact: Last year 17,176 people accessed our mental health services through 53,523 interventions.

Equity, Diversity and Inclusion

We have a diverse staff team, volunteer workforce, service members who access support and a wide geographical reach across Bradford District and Craven.

We recognise that experiences of mental health problems vary across different groups and communities. In 2023 we launched our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion policy including an action plan of changes we are in the process of making across the organisation.
