About Buckinghamshire Mind |  |
||||
Buckinghamshire Mind is a registered charity that for over 90 years has been involved in the promotion of good mental health through education, campaigning and the provision of services. We are a membership based organisation, supported by a team of volunteers who help deliver our range of services. Further information about membership is available here.
(Click here for a more detailed history)  Founded in 1914 as The Buckinghamshire Voluntary Association for the Care of the Mentally Defective.
For nearly 100 years we have endeavoured to provide a much-needed service for those residents of the county of Buckinghamshire and surrounding areas who are less fortunate than ourselves. In 1948 the association changed its name to The Bucks Association for Mental Welfare and agreed to provide services for patients suffering from mental illness. Another step in the process of keeping abreast with modern developments came in 1972 with another name change to The Buckinghamshire Association for Mental Health (BAMH), a name that identifies the revised object of providing services for the mentally ill. The work undertaken changed in focus from training and education to providing social contact and support for the mentally ill in the community. An extract from the original constitution explains: The objects of the association shall be to: promote mental health and to assist in relieving and rehabilitating persons suffering from mental disorder or conditions of emotional or mental distress requiring advice or treatment.
