Maudsley Charity | Harris Hill

Maudsley Charity is a grant-making charity that advances and accelerates positive change in mental health care in south London.

We fund and support key clinical, academic and community partners so that everyone who experiences mental illness, without exception, can access the care that’s right for them.

While our roots are embedded firmly in our local community in south London, we aim to also seed positive change in mental health care elsewhere in the UK, by sharing and amplifying the knowledge and evidence that is generated through the work that we fund.

Why we’re here

Mental illness can have a profound impact on a person’s life – affecting their relationships, education, career, and physical health.

Our approach is led by clear and undeniable evidence that not everyone who experiences mental illness receives the care they need to live as well as possible.

In south London, there are clear differences in the risk of mental illness, and the experience and outcomes from care. The impacts of social deprivation and racism are especially stark.

How we work

Our approach is grounded in evidence, experience and equity:

Evidence: We identify and financially back the most promising solutions that draw on and generate learning and evidence.
Experience: Mental health care is more effective when it is informed by relevant expertise and lived experience.
Equity: We focus our funding on those most failed by services and society, driving improvements that benefit everyone.

The change we want to see

Greater equity in care and support
High-quality, evidence-based treatment available to all
Care shaped by diverse expertise and lived experience
Earlier intervention
More people living well with mental illness
