• To campaign for improved standards and forms of mental health-care, support and treatment.
• To encourage and demonstrate good practice in the development of local mental health services.
• To provide a legal casework service to service members and their families and to monitor and influence legislation and policy.
• To collect and distribute information, to sponsor research, to issue publications and provide advice.
• To provide a programme of education and training for mental health workers, volunteers, service members and members of the public.
• To raise funds for the work of MIND.
