World Mental Health Day

10 Years of Impact. 10 Mates in Mind Places. One Incredible Challenge.

In 2027, Mates in Mind celebrates its 10th anniversary.

For the past decade, we’ve worked alongside employers to improve mental health in and through work, helping organisations raise awareness, end stigma, implement effective evidence-informed interventions and create workplace cultures that are built on psychosocial safety.

We have always advocated for a preventative approach to mental health and have empowered organisation to move from awareness to action. We will continue to equip workplaces with the knowledge, confidence and practical tools to create lasting change and ensure everyone has the support they need to thrive.

To mark this milestone year, we were delighted to prioritise places for Mates in Mind Members.

For one year only, we secured 10 London Marathon places across the marathon weekend, giving our Members the chance to take on one of the world’s most iconic challenges while helping shape the future of workplace mental health.

We would like to share a heartfelt thank you to everyone who submitted an application this year, they were all inspiring and at times very moving.

Applications for the 2027 Mates in Mind Marathon Team have now closed.

We know this may be disappointing, but we'd still love to have you involved. We currently have charity places available in both the Manchester and Brighton Marathon, as well as a range of other fundraising events. You can find out more here: Fundraising Events.

Please return to this page where we will be sharing details on our team, why they are running and how you can support their fundraising challenge.

Secured Your Own Place?

If you’ve already secured your own ballot place, we’d still love for you to join us as a fundraiser and be part of this landmark anniversary year. Join Team Mates in Mind by emailing [email protected].

As part of our team, you’ll receive the same support and benefits as our charity place runners, without a minimum sponsorship pledge.
