Help change the world for millions affected by mental illness.

Donate to Mental Health Research

When you donate, you're supporting groundbreaking research to help us better understand, effectively treat and ultimately one day even prevent serious mental illness.

Without this vital research, It's just guesswork as to how we can better help the 1 in 4 of us impacted by mental illness.

Where does your money go?

It’s spent on research projects at some of the world's top institutions. You will be supporting studies in psychology, neuroscience, data science, sociology, psychiatry and more.

With your help, we can find solutions for people living with depression, PTSD, anxiety, eating disorders and psychosis both now and in the future. 

Through research we can better understand, treat and ultimately one day prevent mental illness.

How your gift is going to help:
  • £5 could help MQ researchers identify the links between inflammation and depression.
  • £15 could help MQ researchers use data science techniques to identify trends in young people's mental health.
  • £25 could support the development of a new digital treatment for depression reducing the overwhelming demand on mental health services.
  • £60 funds one person to go through a trial course of a new treatment to reduce anxiety symptoms.
