Mind in Enfield and Barnet

What Mind in Enfield and Barnet does

Mind in Enfield and Barnet is a registered UK charity (Charity No. 1054539) formed on April 1, 2021 through the merger of Mind in Enfield and Mind in Barnet, delivering mental health services across the London boroughs of Enfield and Barnet. Its service portfolio spans three main lines: therapy (Community Talking Therapies commissioned by NHS North Central London Integrated Care Board, private DOVE counselling at £65 per individual session and £90 per couples session, and specialised bereavement and autism therapy); advocacy (community advocacy through the LEAP partnership and hospital-based advocacy at sites within the Barnet, Enfield and Haringey Mental Health Trust); and wellbeing (Sanctuary and Crisis Hub out-of-hours crisis support, Recovery College courses, UCAN Enfield wellbeing programme, Parents in Mind programme for CAMHS-connected families, Family Hubs perinatal support, and Barnet Wellbeing Service-funded workshops).

The organisation operates from two physical sites in Edmonton and North Finchley, supplemented by online and telephone therapy delivery. Its technology stack is conventional rather than proprietary: a WordPress CMS with WooCommerce for online donations and fundraising, Stripe and CAF Bank for payment processing, CloudFlare for performance and security, Google reCAPTCHA and Analytics, and embedded YouTube content. There is no proprietary software, no AI/ML models, no patents, and no mobile application — the platform serves as a delivery and donor-acquisition layer over operational service delivery.

The business model is a hybrid charity model combining NHS/ICB commissioned contracts (the primary revenue base), individual and corporate donations (solicited through website, events and corporate partnerships), fee-for-service private counselling via the DOVE sub-brand, paid training and consultancy to organisations (Managing Mental Health at Work, Mental Health Strategy, Reflective Practice), and a percentage-of-sales share from third-party operated Mind charity shops in Windmill Hill and Southgate Circus. Pricing for residents is largely free at point of use, with the DOVE sub-brand operating as the only direct-pay consumer offering. Customer segments are bifurcated between individual service users across Enfield and Barnet boroughs and corporate/organisational buyers for training services, with the LocalMotion service user forum providing community feedback and co-design input.
