The Association brings together organisations working alongside people and communities every day. Our members provide support across prevention, crisis, social care, housing, advocacy, employment, peer support, helplines, culturally responsive services, and specialist provision.

Our role is to connect that experience with the places where policy, funding, commissioning, regulation, research, and investment are decided. We represent providers of different sizes and geographies, bring members together around shared challenges, build evidence, and create opportunities for providers to speak directly with decision-makers.

That work starts with a simple principle: decisions about mental health are stronger when they reflect the realities of people using support and the organisations delivering it.
