UK mental health and wellness platform Myndr has recently received £300,000 funding from Innovate UK programme. 

 

Myndr is an innovative digital learning and support platform designed by Lizzy Hodcroft to help company leaders and employees help battle common health issues via peer-to-peer support. 

 

Ms Hodcroft said: "We're incredibly honoured and proud to have received this grant. Most of the funds will be used towards further development and content for the app as we have high expectations to deliver a platform that is contextually smart as well as impactful with practical, actionable steps and content."

 

Co-founder Emma Reilly added: "Apart from the obvious benefit to our users in terms of support and action plans for their mental health, we are also very proud that we can offer a helping hand to many that have found themselves without a job or income during this time. 

 

"Because of the Innovate Grant and its timing, we have been able to reach out to professionals, freelancers, doctors, peers and so many others to help to provide Myndr with courses, content and suggestions and in turn pay these amazing individuals for their service. Although we aren't able to completely solve any financial issues for people, we are proud that we can support in some way."
