The Mortgage Industry Mental Health Charter (MIMHC) has announced the launch of its second alcohol-free lunch, taking place on Friday 9th October at the Grand Connaught Rooms in London.
Early supporters include HSBC UK, Virgin Money, Nottingham Building Society, Landbay, Mortgage Advice Bureau (MAB) and L&C Mortgages.
The event will bring together lenders, distributors, brokers, networks and industry partners for an afternoon dedicated to open conversation, collaboration and positive action.
The MIMHC Lunch provides an inclusive, alcohol-free environment that encourages meaningful discussion around leadership, workplace wellbeing and the practical steps businesses can take to better support their people.
Since its launch in 2021, MIMHC has grown into a movement supported by more than 400 signatory organisations, collectively representing over 30,000 people working throughout the mortgage industry.
Funds raised through sponsorship and attendance will directly support the work of the Mortgage Industry Mental Health Charter Foundation CIC, helping to fund further Mental Health First Aid training, educational initiatives and preventative wellbeing support throughout the industry.
MIMHC is now inviting additional organisations to become involved. For sponsorship opportunities or to reserve places, click here.
Jason Berry (pictured), co-founder of the Mortgage Industry Mental Health Charter, said: "It's incredibly encouraging to see so many respected organisations committing their support so early in our process. Their involvement demonstrates that mental health and wellbeing are no longer viewed as optional initiatives but as fundamental elements of building successful, sustainable businesses.
"Every organisation supporting this event is helping us create lasting change across our industry. Together we're investing in healthier workplaces, stronger leadership and ensuring more people know that support is available whenever they need it."
Will Lloyd, co-founder of MIMHC, added: "The momentum behind this year's lunch reflects just how far we've come as an industry. I'm hugely grateful to HSBC, Virgin Money, Nottingham Building Society, Landbay, MAB and L&C for leading the way. Their support sends a powerful message that together we can continue breaking the stigma surrounding mental health while creating workplaces where people can genuinely thrive."
