Mindwise launches Mental Health and Money Advice Service
Mindwise recently launched their Mental Health and Money Advice Service in Northern Ireland. It is part of the Mental Health UK’s two year charity partnership with Lloyds Banking Group in Northern Ireland.
Mental Health UK is a charity which brings together four organisations who have worked in mental health for over 40 years – Rethink Mental Illness (England), Support in Mind Scotland, Hafal (Wales) and Mindwise. Colleague fundraising at Lloyds Banking Group is geared towards helping them establish a pioneering advice service dedicated to helping people understand, manage and improve their financial and mental health. It will be aimed at the millions of people across the UK whose mental illness ends up causing them financial difficulty and those whose financial problems can cause mental ill health.
