Working together

Mental Health Mates would not be possible without the fantastic partnerships of like-minded organisations, who believe passionately in the power of connection and peer support to overcome mental health challenges. We are incredibly grateful to our partners who generously support our work so that our Mental Health Mates community can continue to grow and thrive.

We’re proud of how far we’ve come since February 2016. As we continue to add new Walk Leaders and grow the Mental Health Mates community, we need funds to support the work we do, so that we can continue to reach and support as many people as possible and ensure that our community continues to be free and accessible for all.

Mental Health Mates Partner: Rover.com

To mark Mental Health Awareness Week (12–18 May 2025), Rover.com has joined forces with Mental Health Mates to launch a series of mindful dog walks across the UK – highlighting the powerful role pets play in supporting emotional wellbeing, and helping more people access the comfort that canine companionship can bring.

The initiative comes as new research reveals just how much our dogs do for us – especially during life’s toughest moments. Whether it’s navigating mental health struggles, coping with grief, or bouncing back from burnout, a whopping 84% of UK pet owners say their dog is the one they turn to most for comfort during the hard times.

That’s why Rover is encouraging dog owners to bring their canine companions along to one of the selected Mental Health Mates walks – sharing the simple, powerful benefits of dog ownership with others who may really need it.
