For several years now, Exclusive Networks UK and its personnel have supported a different charity each year: in 2022, the Mind charity that was chosen. Mind is a charity based in England and Wales that helps people with mental illnesses to cope better and raises awareness about them. One in four people suffer from mental health problems, and most of them do not get the help they need. Mind has set itself the task of changing minds and offering help in everyday life, whether information, advice or local services. The organisation is organised around a network of 130 local Minds, which offer support and specialist care close to the people who need it: 443,000 people benefited from Mind’s advice and help in 2021.
