Other Major Grants Received

In the UK only 48% of people with mental health problems, and 18% of people with severe learning difficulties, are in employment, versus the national 75%. Mental health issues and learning disabilities can be financially debilitating and very isolating. In addition, those battling with mental ill health often face complex and challenging issues ranging from managing the benefits system to finding accommodation.

Good work and the right help make all the difference, and that’s what Phoenix is all about.

We are deeply grateful to the following organisations for believing in what we do and enabling us to continue providing this help year in and year out:

  • Henry Smith Foundation
  • Garfield Weston Foundation
  • The Sackler Trust
  • The Clothworkers’ Foundation
  • The National Benevolent Charity
  • Wiltshire Community Foundation
