Cardiff Mind Ltd

Cardiff Mind is a mental health charity originally constituted in June 1963, however, in March 1993 the company was incorporated as a company limited by guarantee and in May of that year was again registered as a Charity with the Charity Commission.

We develop and deliver quality services to people experiencing mental distress, and we want to ensure that those who need the support of mental health services are provided with sufficient opportunity to engage with appropriate and diverse services, and also tackle accompanying factors that contribute to social exclusion.

Cardiff Mind promotes positive emotional wellbeing through empowering and supporting people to access opportunities to give them independence and quality of life.

Underlying the mission statement is our organisational values that influence the way in which our staff, volunteers and management committee work.
