Purpose The Forum exists to provide support to local voluntary sector organisations working to improve the mental health of communities. We aim to enable the voluntary sector to become an equal and effective partner in the design and delivery of local services. We support the mental health voluntary sector to share and promote good practice. We inspire confidence in mental health provision across the voluntary and statutory sectors. We aim to build and develop the sector to meet new challenges and opportunities. We provide a support network for organisations and individual workers.
