Carers Federation Sign The Time to Change Employers Pledge

Demonstrating our commitment and support to employees facing mental health problems

World Mental Health Pledge

To celebrate World Mental Health Day we are very excited to announce that on 21st November our Chair of Trustees will be signing the Time to Change pledge.

Time to Change is a growing social movement working to change the way we all think and act about mental health problems.

At Carers Federation we consider ourselves to be very flexible and supportive to our employees and now want to take this to another level. Our Board wants to  demonstrate its continued commitment to creating a culture and workforce where mental health is everyone’s business.
