Supporting Mental Health, Strengthening Community: Why Partnering with Peace & Mind Makes a Difference

We’re incredibly proud to call Peace and Mind UK our community partner here at Birchwood Park.

You may already know them from their inspiring founder Esther Ghey, who’s made headlines for championing mental health education and early intervention in schools and communities. But what you might not know is that Peace and Mind is based right here on the Park – and working with them offers real opportunities for our occupiers to create meaningful impact.

A Cause That Matters – Right on Your Doorstep

Peace and Mind’s mission is simple but powerful: educate and empower young people around mental health before they reach crisis point. Their work reaches into schools, youth groups and families across the North West, delivering workshops, talks, and community resources.

By supporting them, occupiers can:

• Support ESG and CSR goals through meaningful, measurable impact
• Create team volunteering opportunities with real value and purpose
• Strengthen workplace culture with mental health education and awareness sessions
• Be part of something local and personal, where you can see the difference your support makes

Ways to Get Involved

Whether you’re a small team or a large organisation, there are lots of ways to connect with Peace and Mind:

• Sponsor or support one of their events, such as the Peace Festival on 6th September – held right here at The EngineRooms
• Host a fundraiser or awareness day with support from the Peace and Mind team
• Offer your time, skills, or resources – from marketing help to tech donations
• Book in a workplace talk or workshop on mental health and wellbeing

As part of the Birchwood Park community, this is a unique chance to build partnerships that are local, relevant, and impactful – and aligned with your values.

Create Positive Change Together

We’re proud to support Peace and Mind’s work, and we’d love to help more occupiers get involved. If you’re interested in exploring how your team or business could connect, drop us a message or reach out to the Peace and Mind team directly via www.peaceandmind.org.

Birchwood Park is not just a place of business, but a place where we actively build a better future for our wider community.
