Appeals
People with severe mental illness or learning disabilities are dying 15 - 20 years before the rest of the population.
Mental health is the leading cause of disability in the UK.
At Heads On we are doing everything we can to change this; by investing in equity through innovation, the building blocks of good mental health and creative recovery we can get the right support to people who face the biggest barriers to mental health recovery.

Heads On’s Make Your Mark is building the future of creative recovery at Sussex Partnership, developing confidence, quality of life and social connection through the arts, nature, sport and food & nutrition.
From DJ workshops to nature trails, oral history projects to running clubs, we know firsthand the power of taking part in things that make your heart sing. The joy that can be found in learning something new alongside people who have also walked in your shoes.
Relationships are one of the most important aspects of our lives. People who are more socially connected to family, friends, or their community are happier, physically healthier, and live longer, with fewer mental health problems than people who are less well connected. Sometimes, if we are not feeling well, connections can be hard to come by.
Heads On's Make Your Mark is helping people find those connections, supporting them to get involved in activities that bring joy and a sense of achievement, and that can and should go hand in hand with clinical care.
Our ambition over the next five years is to develop creative recovery programmes in all Sussex Partnership neighbourhood community mental health teams, with in-reach into adult inpatient hospitals, supporting people to participate in activities in hospital that can sustain them on discharge and helping people to stay well in the community.
