"We are delighted to share that West Sussex Mind and Mind in Brighton & Hove are embarking on an exciting programme of work in Surrey.
"Working together through the Mind in Surrey Partnership, our ambition is to strengthen mental health support across the county, helping to improve wellbeing, tackle stigma and increase access to services for local communities. We recognise that meaningful and sustainable change is achieved through collaboration, and we are committed to working alongside partners across the health, public, voluntary, community and social enterprise sectors to identify needs, address inequalities and create new opportunities for support.
"As an important first step in this journey, we are launching recruitment for a new Head of Development and Partnerships, Surrey. Hosted by West Sussex Mind on behalf of the partnership, this senior role will lead the establishment and growth of our work across Surrey, building relationships with key stakeholders, developing collaborative initiatives and helping to create a sustainable programme of activity that delivers lasting impact for local people.
"We know that Surrey already benefits from a wide range of dedicated organisations, community groups and leaders working to support mental health and wellbeing. We are keen to listen, learn and build on existing strengths, ensuring that our approach complements and enhances the excellent work already taking place across the county.
"As we begin this new chapter, we would welcome conversations with organisations and partners who share our commitment to improving mental health outcomes for Surrey residents. Whether through service development, community engagement, training, funding opportunities, strategic partnerships or innovative collaborative projects, we are eager to explore how we can work together to make a positive difference.
"If you would like to discuss partnership opportunities or learn more about our plans for Surrey, please get in touch. We look forward to building strong and impactful relationships across the county in the months ahead.
"Together, we can create a future where everyone in Surrey has access to the mental health support they need, when they need it."
