Many of us find filling in forms and navigating online portals difficult. If you are struggling with your mental health, then it can be even more difficult to work out how to claim the benefits you are entitled to and worrying about your finances increases your stress, leaving you feeling trapped in a downward spiral.
Fishmongers has given a grant to Islington Mind to run a Welfare Benefits Clinic for clients with complex mental health problems to support them to navigate the welfare benefit system. This has resulted in clients cumulatively securing hundreds of thousands of pounds in much needed income and has considerably alleviated their stress, improving their mental and physical wellbeing.
Islington Mind’s CEO, Sigal Avni, said “Support from The Fishmongers’ Company allows us to continue providing vital and much needed assistance to our vulnerable target groups.”
We are delighted that Islington Mind won the Mind Quality Mark 2021-24 for being a well-run organization delivering safe, life-changing support for people with Mental Health problems.
