After years of working in the education sector, our founder Emma combined her extensive lived and learned experience to found Miindful. In the final year of her degree and in the midst of the Covid-19 lockdown, she brought together a team of extremely talented professionals who share her mission to elminate the negative impact that socioeconomic inequality has on mental health and wider life outcomes. That team has been making a difference to the lives of those facing disadvantage since 2020 and will continue to do so until our mission is achieved.

It is no secret that there is a mental health crisis in the UK. With 1 in 6 children likely to have a diagnosable mental health problem and increasing pressure on services, children and young people go an average of 10 years between becoming unwell and getting help. And for those experiencing disadvantage, there are often a multitude of barriers to accessing support. That’s where Miindful comes in. We co-design impactful community interventions to tackle a range of issues and deliver them, free of charge, in the communities that need them most.
