Mental Health Action began as a London-based Keep Our NHS Public group in early 2021. Later that year, the group was approached by the Mental Health sub-group of the Socialist Health Association’s London branch and the two groups decided to collaborate. Many members of the MHA are in both organisations. 

We now have over 40 members from different parts of the country – Liverpool, Newcastle, Sheffield, Barnsley. We have become a national group. Our members are current and retired healthcare workers; service users, their family members and carers; community workers; NHS campaigners. Many of us have been involved in mental health politics and campaigning for many years.

We regularly invite speakers to talk to the group about their experience in the mental health field for part of our meetings. 

Join the group

The group meets on the first Tuesday of the month at 6.30-8.00pm. 

We welcome new members from all areas of the UK. Anyone interested in campaigning to transform mental health provision is welcome to join us. Please contact Paul Atkinson at paulwilliamatkinson@gmail.com
