Mary Frances Trust (MFT) is a Charitable Company established in 1994 by carers, people accessing mental health services and professionals to support people experiencing mental health problems. It is a non-medical service set up to address the social consequences of mental ill-health on the lives and well-being of mental health service users.

OUR VISION

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to:

• work alongside people experiencing any kind of emotional or mental health issues for as long as they need and inspire them to develop the skills that will help them to restore and maintain their emotional wellbeing.
• involve people with experience of mental health at every level of the organisation so they can help us design, deliver, monitor and review our services to ensure they respond to their changing needs.

  We are:

  Inspiring

  We offer everyone a personal, tailored approach with the space to think, try things out and find out what is working for them. We support people to draw from their own strengths and resources. We inspire and empower them to develop the skills that will help them to become experts at maintaining their own wellbeing.

  Inclusive

  The people we support aren’t passive recipients of services we design for them. We believe in a strength-based approach, where we listen and tap into their expertise.
