Swindon-based MAN Truck & Bus UK Ltd has chosen mental health charity Mind as its 2025 and 2026 fundraising partner.
The company was inspired by Mind’s decades-long commitment to supporting and empowering those experiencing mental health problems.
Operating across England and Wales, Mind campaigns to improve services, raise awareness, and promote understanding of mental health issues. The decision to support Mind was based on strong employee support, with many employees having personal connections to the charity.
Through this partnership, MAN Truck & Bus UK Ltd will support Mind in ensuring that people experiencing mental health problems can access the life-changing support they need. This, the firm says, is particularly important as 1 in 4 people will experience a mental health problem, and more than 2m people—including 1.5m adults and over 500,000 children and young people—are currently on the waiting list for mental health care in England.
Catherine Brown, People and Culture Director, MAN Truck & Bus UK Ltd, said: “When choosing which charity to support, we engaged with staff from across the network asking for suggestions, and it came as no surprise that the most talked about charity was Mind.
"The decision to support Mind was personal for many employees and we were thoroughly impressed by the heart-warming passion and admiration surrounding this life-supporting charity.
“It is said that one in four people will experience a mental health problem, this is truly an alarming statistic. We’re proud to support Mind in ensuring those with mental health problems get the support they need and we’re confident that together we can make a difference.
