Our Services and how we can help

Islington Mind has been awarded the Mind Quality Mark 2021-24

The Mind Quality Mark is a rigorous quality assurance standard. It sets the bar of good practice and legal compliance for all organisations in the Mind Federation.

Once every three years, local Minds are reviewed against the Mind Quality Mark standards. The reviews are led by people with lived experience of mental health problems and senior leaders from other local Minds. They are based on a robust assessment of documentary evidence as well as interviews with and survey responses from trustees, staff, volunteers, and people who use services.

To achieve the Mind Quality Mark, local Minds must be well-run organisations delivering safe, life-changing support for people with mental health problems.


 

Voluntary Action Islington’s
Voluntary Team of the Year award

Our amazing volunteer team at Outcome recently won “Highly commended” at the Voluntary Action Islington 2022 awards. Every year Voluntary Action Islington and its Volunteer Centre Islington celebrate the achievements and efforts of all people volunteering in Islington together with the Voluntary, Community, Faith, and Social Enterprise (VCFSE) sector.
We were delighted to be recognised and honoured as an important LGBTQI+ service.

Maria Yianni’s Dignity in Care
Volunteer of the Year Award

Maria is one of our amazing volunteers who won Volunteer of the Year at this year’s

These important awards recognise the quality of support provided to people with care needs, with a particular focus on ensuring that anyone receiving care can retain their dignity at a vulnerable time in their lives.
