Mental health charities

Mental health charities play a crucial role in promoting mental wellbeing, supporting people affected by mental illness, and influencing decision makers to improve mental health care.

At Yarn, we use the superpower of storytelling to support this life-changing work. Our clients from this important charity sector include Mental Health UK, Rethink Mental Illness, and Addaction.

Around 1 in 6 adults in the UK experience poor mental health each week, affecting work, relationships and everyday life. 

Beyond the personal impact, mental health problems cost the economy billions of pounds every year, highlighting the urgent need for understanding, early support and accessible care for everyone.

Playing a vital role in making this happen are mental health charities that educate, provide support services and campaign for positive change.

At Yarn, we’re super proud to have already partnered with some of these fantastic life-changing organisations for a wide range of projects. Now, we’re excited to help many more tell their stories and make a real difference to even more lives.

How we work with mental health charities 

If we’re lucky enough to work with your mental health charity, the first thing we do is get to know you – your services, your campaigns, your brand, and the people you’re here to help. 

During our discovery phase, we also explore your project brief with you, talk through any potential sensitivities, and make sure we fully understand your goals.

Once we have the full picture, our creative team springs into action, crafting authentic stories that capture attention, spark curiosity and inspire audiences to act.

Throughout your project, you can count on us to answer questions quickly, offer expert guidance whenever needed, and keep everything running smoothly – on time and on budget.

With every mental health charity we partner with, our aim is simple: to tell stories that genuinely win hearts and minds, and to make the whole experience enjoyable and rewarding for all.
