What the petition asks
Mental ill health is the single largest cause of disability in the UK, contributing up to 22.8%, compared to 15.9% for cancer and 16.2% for cardiovascular disease.
1 out of 4 people a year will suffer from Mental ill health but for some reason it receives just 13% of NHS funding.

Our Family, Friends and Children are all suffering from lack of funding surrounding Mental Health Issues. 7,000 people take their lives a year.
We need to push the government to do something fast but we also need to help. Mental Health charity donations compared to charities for other health problems are tiny. But why? 1 in 4 of us suffer from mental health issues and it is just as serious as any other illness.
