News From Our Corporate Partners<br />
An enormous well done to our partners Ninja<br />
Theory, whose game Hellblade: Senua’s<br />
Sacrifice not only raised £60,000 for our<br />
work, but went on to win an incredible five<br />
BAFTA awards for its portrayal of a warrior<br />
experiencing symptoms of psychosis.<br />
Thanks to<br />
Royal Mail’s<br />
work with<br />
Mental Health<br />
UK, we’ve<br />
received<br />
funding this<br />
year to help us grow our network of community<br />
support groups for people affected by mental<br />
illness and for their carers and families. We<br />
are also very pleased to be involved in their<br />
Everyday People film, which highlights the<br />
everyday occurrence of mental health problems<br />
for many people, which is available on Youtube.<br />
A massive thank you to<br />
Lloyds Banking Group,<br />
whose colleagues<br />
and customers have<br />
now raised over £4.8<br />
million for Mental<br />
Health UK. This has<br />
already enabled the<br />
launch of a pioneering<br />
new service, Mental<br />
Health & Money<br />
Advice. This is the UK’s first advice service dedicated<br />
to helping people understand, manage and improve the<br />
relationship between their financial and mental health.<br />
See www.mhma.org.uk for details, and look out for more<br />
details about new activities in the coming months.<br />
Did you see the Lloyds Bank<br />
#GetTheInsideOut adverts<br />
on Channel 4 over spring<br />
with our partner charity<br />
Mental Health UK? A huge<br />
thank you to Professor<br />
Green, Jeremy Paxman, and<br />
all the spokespeople who<br />
took part in the campaign.<br />
They will be re-running these<br />
ads, so do look out for them<br />
again through July.<br />
Virgin Trains have been amazing supporters this<br />
year, raising over £90,000, which has helped us<br />

Coast Network.<br />
Here is one of their<br />
team fundraising<br />
on Star Wars Day<br />

own train!<br />
Congratulations to our partners Horwich Farrelly,<br />
who raised £21,000 for Rethink Mental Illness this<br />
