Mind Middlesbrough and Stockton

What Mind Middlesbrough and Stockton does

Mind Middlesbrough and Stockton, operating as Mind Teesside, is a registered mental health charity serving the Teesside region of North East England. It delivers a portfolio of more than fifteen community-based mental health services spanning advocacy, talking therapy, peer support, Recovery College, Safe Haven crisis support, dementia outreach, eating disorder support ("Off the Scales"), children and family services, young people's drop-ins ("Be Heard"), and carer support. The organisation also runs a corporate-facing "Mental Health in the Workplace" programme and a MindCare private counselling offering delivered in partnership with Realise Therapy. Annual beneficiary reach is reported at 32,120 local people. The service mix is supported by self-help digital resources covering anxiety, depression, stress, mindfulness, LGBTQIA+ mental health, menopause, racism and mental health, and financial wellbeing.

The charity is funded through a combination of individual donations, structured fundraising (Mental Health Awareness Week, The Big Pub Quiz, school programmes, legacies, cause-related shopping), and earned income from workplace contracts and private-pay counselling referrals. There is no proprietary technology platform; delivery is people-led, supplemented by a content website (teessidemind.org.uk) and presence on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. The charity operates a headquarters in Middlesbrough and is part of the broader UK Mind confederation, having rebranded from "Mind Middlesbrough and Stockton" to "Mind Teesside" to reflect wider geographic coverage across Middlesbrough, Stockton, Redcar, and Cleveland.

The operating model is non-profit, charity-governed, and geographically bounded to Teesside. Distribution is primarily direct service delivery across multiple physical touchpoints, with referrals channel-ed into specialist programmes via healthcare and social prescribing partners. Pricing is largely donation-funded and free at point of use, with corporate and private-pay services operating at market rates. No headcount, financial statements, or funding-round data are disclosed in the available sources.
