Inspirited Minds is a faith based, grassroots mental health charity located in London that launched in 2014 with the aim to raise awareness, combat stigmas and provide professional, non-judgemental, confidential support to those with mental health illnesses. Although Inspirited Minds works predominantly with those from an Islamic faith, we do not disregard any persons of differing backgrounds. Our initial research showed many Muslims found it difficult to seek help as they felt they would not be understood by someone who did not understand their faith or culture, thus they chose to remain quiet and not seek help. We are here to change this and cater for this need. Visit website

The absence of faith and culturallysensitive support services from mainstream providers and the culture of taboo and condemnation that surrounds youth issues in the Muslim community means young people in the UK have nowhere to turn for support and often endure their problems in silence. This led to the creation of a faith and culturally sensitive helpline service putting young people at the frontline of service delivery. Visit website ​

My Foster Family was initially set up to ensure that the most disadvantaged children in our society get the best start in life, and free their potential.We recognise the importance of nurturing a child’s sense of identity, and in order to do this, their cultural and religious practices need to be respected in any home they are placed in. Since we are a children and family centred organisation, everything we do and work for is to help foster carers, children and young people. Visit website
