Our Mission


Our Mission


Our mission is to provide accessible, inclusive and reliable mental health support. For us, mental health support comes in many forms, whether this is gaining practical support for wellbeing or more in depth interventions for mental health issues.


How do we do it? We provide high quality, meaningful and timely support to those who need it, when they need it.


The UK mental health system is broken, with families in some cases waiting years for support. This isn't good enough.


Arthur Ellis is a charity, not just raising awareness but taking action, providing an essential service for those suffering with no waiting lists or thresholds.


Our service works seamlessly alongside public systems, like GPs, Schools and the Third Sector to enable young and vulnerable people to access our support within days - not when a waiting list says.

Our aim is to establish a national service that seamlessly complements public services, offering crucial support to the 250,000 young people who currently don't have access to mental health care.

Live-aid Of Mental Health Support

We are on a mission to transform mental health support in the UK, just like Live Aid changed global humanitarian aid. We believe no one should have to wait years for help, so we are making support faster, easier, and more accessible. Through one to one mentoring, workplace wellbeing sessions, and community workshops, we provide real, practical support that meets people where they are, when they need it most.


We are building a nationwide network of support by working with schools, businesses, healthcare providers, and local authorities. By reinvesting profits from workplace wellbeing services into our foundation, we can fund free sessions for children, young people, and vulnerable adults. This means the more organisations we work with, the more people we can help, creating a sustainable and growing support system for those who need it most.


This is more than a service, it is a movement for change. We are raising awareness, challenging a broken system, and making mental health support a right, not a privilege. Just like Live Aid brought people together for a cause, we are uniting communities to ensure no one is left behind.
