MindOut, the LGBTQ+ mental health charity, has launched a new three-year strategic plan, produced in consultation with their service users, volunteers, staff, partners and a wide range of stakeholders.
MindOut consulted widely for views and contributions to inform the new strategic plan. Service users, staff and volunteers were involved, as well as a public online consultation survey with 48 replies.
The consultation revealed that MindOut is seen as a valued community asset, with a good reputation, good standard of service delivery and offers supportive employment. It also told the charity that they could expand outside Brighton & Hove, develop their publicity, offer more welfare benefits advice, do more national and international work, do more anti-stigma work and expand their offer for People of Colour, people in rural areas and the online services.
In order to fulfil their strategic aims and following the consultation, MindOut plan to develop in the following areas over the next three years:
– Continue to provide LGBTQ+ mental health support
– Deliver sustainable funding
– Improve access for minority communities
– Improve mainstream service provision for LGBTQ+ people
– Position MindOut as a thought leader and initiator of national campaigns
– Increase volunteering opportunities
MindOut say: ‘We would like to thank everyone who contributed to the consultation. We listened carefully to all views submitted and they have been used to shape the strategic plan.’
