The Government’s plan to roll out Neighbourhood Health Centres and remove the Two Child Limit in the Autumn Budget will help many people living in poverty. But mental health and charities that support over 8 million people were not mentioned once.

Ahead of the #AutumnBudget, we’re calling for:

🔹 Long-term investment in VCFSE sector
🔹 Support and recognition for VCFSE workforce
🔹 Action on inequalities in mental health system
🔹 Investment in prevention and early help

People in crisis deserve timely, compassionate care, and NHS staff are doing their best under huge pressure.

The government has committed to investing in mental health emergency departments in its 10 Year Plan.

Ministers must now deliver.
