We are thrilled to confirm that the Asynt Charity of the Year 2025 is Suffolk Mind.
Our team will be participating in fundraising events and working to raise awareness of this charity throughout the year, so keep an eye out for updates!
Why did we choose Suffolk Mind as the Asynt charity of the year?

“Whilst mental health issues are more openly discussed than in the past, they can still be a challenging topic for many.
We often feel uneasy admitting when we’re struggling with stress or uncertain about how to approach someone who might be facing difficulties. The more we normalize conversations about mental health, the better equipped we’ll be to support ourselves and those around us, whether at work or in our personal lives.“ |
Who are Suffolk Mind and what do they do?
All of us have mental health, just as we have physical health. We are all on the Mental Health Continuum – and we move up and down it depending on how we cope with the challenges of life and the stresses that it creates.
Suffolk Mind’s team of over 100 people both employed and volunteers supports people from the age of 4 upwards, through:
- The Mental Health Kitbag, skills-based sessions for children and young people, and the adults who support them
- Our support services for over 18s
- The Mental Health Toolkit – our practical mental health training for organisations
Working across the Mental Health Continuum, we aim to provide support and information for everyone.
Mental health training with Suffolk Mind
Asynt will be investing in mental health training with Suffolk Mind over the coming year, as the better prepared we are, the more we can help ourselves and one another.
