We are delighted to announce that Bridging Minds, an initiative of Aarogyam UK, has been awarded funding support from the National Lottery Community Fund. This funding marks the start of a vital journey — one where we can bridge the gaps in mental health, family well-being, and community care through safe, inclusive, and culturally responsive approaches.
Why Bridging Minds?
Mental health touches every aspect of life. When the mind struggles, it impacts our bodies, our families, our work, and our communities. Yet too many people continue to face stigma, isolation, and a lack of support that reflects their cultural and personal realities. Bridging Minds was born from listening to these voices. It is not just a project — it is a community platform designed to create spaces where people can share openly, heal with dignity, and grow stronger together.
What This Journey Brings
With this support, Bridging Minds will focus on:
- Healing Minds – nurturing resilience and balance through safe, inclusive mental health support.
- Uplifting Lives – linking mental health to family, emotions, and daily well-being.
- Connecting Communities – building compassion, belonging, and strength across cultures.
“Bridging Minds marks a new chapter where mental health is recognised as the foundation of wholeness. This project has been shaped by the voices of the community, and with the support of the National Lottery Community Fund, we now have the chance to build something lasting and meaningful — together. My heartfelt thanks to the players of the National Lottery for making this vision possible.”
— Dr. Neha Sharma, Founder, Aarogyam UK
