Supporting mental health in Sheffield since 1978. With over 45 years of experience, Sheffield Mind is a registered charity dedicated to providing compassionate, accessible support that empowers people to improve their wellbeing.

Mission Statement 

Equality & Diversity

Based in Sharrow but working citywide, we're part of a diverse local community.

Wherever possible we identify opportunities to work with and learn from people from under-represented communities - in which there can be higher than average incidences of mental ill health - and to link with local groups.

Inequality and discrimination adversely affect people’s mental health. As a mental health charity, we have a responsibility to address equity, diversity, inclusion and equality (EDIE) in our work. This is to ensure that the people we serve receive good mental health support and that those who work for us – in a paid capacity or volunteering – have an environment in which they feel safe, confident to be themselves, and valued.

Our Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Equality (EDIE) vision and approach at Sheffield Mind is that:

We value diversity, champion fairness and believe everyone deserves respect and to be valued. We want to create spaces where everyone belongs. Therefore, we won’t give up striving to be an ever-fairer, more inclusive organisation for those we serve and those we work with.

This approach is framed by seven strategic aims, which we are working towards, throughout 2026

Strategic Plan

Strategic planning is the process by which organisations map out their vision and how they intend to get there. The strategic planning process informs an organisation’s decisions, growth, and goals, over an agreed period of time - often 3 years.

Strategic planning helps Sheffield Mind clearly define our longer-term objectives—and maps how our shorter-term goals and work will help us achieve them. This, in turn, gives us a clear sense of where Sheffield Mind is going and allows us to ensure our teams are working on projects that make the most impact.
