Change the picture of mental health this winter
Together, we can change the picture of mental health
1 in 4 adults in England live with a common mental health condition. Yet too often, those struggles remain unseen.
This winter, we at Oxfordshire Mind are asking people across Oxfordshire to help change the picture of mental health.
Mental ill health can touch anyone, anywhere – no matter your background, age, or circumstances.
Your donation today will help us deliver our vital services

Real people. Real stories.
We’ve spoken to people from across Oxfordshire – teachers, farmers, construction workers, students, those who use our services, mental health service users, and more – who’ve bravely shared their experiences to help others feel less alone and to underline the importance of our vital services.
Watch our participants share their stories
These stories remind us that even when someone seems fine, they might be fighting a silent battle beneath the surface. And what you think you see, isn’t necessarily the full picture. Watch the videos of our amazing participants..
Why your support matters
The NHS Adult Psychiatric Morbidity Survey (2023/24) found that:
- 1 in 4 adults in England live with a common mental health condition
- Among working-age adults (16 – 64), 22.6% are affected
- Almost half of those affected don’t receive the help they need
Your donation will help us to continue providing vital local support – from crisis services and one-to-one counselling, to wellbeing hubs, peer groups and community outreach – we support people across Oxfordshire.
These services make a difference every single day. They give people hope, community, connection and someone to turn to when life feels overwhelming.
