The Mortgage Industry Mental Health Charter (MIMHC) is encouraging industry businesses to participate in the UK’s ‘Time to Talk Day’.
Taking place today, the mental health day aims to bring people together to change lives by starting conversations about mental wellbeing.
As part of its commitment to raising awareness and improving mental wellbeing provision within the mortgage and finance sector, the MIMHC will be participating in the initiative, to “spark meaningful interactions with its signatories”, the group said.
Established in 2021, the not-for-profit organisation was co-founded by several firms from across the industry including Crystal Specialist Finance, Coreco, Chartwell Mortgage Services, Landbay, The Brightstar Group, Knowledge Bank and SimplyBiz Mortgages.
The MIMHC provides resources and a framework so its members can implement best practice mental health provision within their companies, and has announced a target to reach 200 signatories in 2022.
