Macknade & Mid Kent Mind Announce Partnership for Mental Health Awareness Week

As a part of their ongoing commitment to community, Macknade chose 2023 as the first year to officially align with a local charity – with Mid Kent Mind voted for by the team as their charity of choice.

With the ongoing cost-of-living crisis having a profound impact on mental health, both organisations feel that this is a fantastic opportunity to work together to impact local communities.

Both organisations are excited to experiment with a range of joint initiatives throughout the next year which will encourage awareness, start meaningful conversations around mental health, and generate much-needed funding for the services which Mid Kent Mind provide.

Stefano Cuomo, Macknade’s CEO, commented on the partnership: “We are delighted to be partnering with Mid Kent Mind to drive the mental health agenda in Faversham and beyond. Food & drink is intrinsically linked with mental wellbeing, so it is a natural fit, and one where Macknade, and our team of nearly 70 staff, can make a real difference. I am excited to work with Henu to create a dynamic partnership that genuinely impacts our community at a time when it is needed most.”

Henu Cummins, CEO of Mid Kent Mind, added: “We are incredibly grateful to Macknade for approaching us with an exciting opportunity to work together. Our work is dependent on the support of the community – so working together to champion meaningful conversations and encourage awareness around mental health is a dream partnership for us.

We are excited to use our work with Macknade to solidify our presence within Faversham – showing local residents that we are here to support them with their mental health. We’re keen to make sure that anyone in the local area knows that they can turn to us for advice, support and guidance.”

Both organisations are excited to use the partnership as an opportunity to elevate the profile of mental health support in Faversham – ensuring that everyone in the local area knows where they can turn for advice and support.
