Leave a Legacy to Advance Mental Health Research

One in four of us will experience a mental illness or brain disorder in our lifetime. Behind each diagnosis are families, friends, and communities profoundly impacted.

Established in 1982, The Psychiatry Research Trust raises funds for cutting-edge research into mental illness and brain disorders at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience at King’s College London.

Through our partnership with the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, the UK’s largest mental health service provider, our research is uniquely positioned to bridge the gap between discovery science and clinical practice, ensuring breakthroughs are rapidly translated into improved treatments. Making a gift in your will makes this impact possible.

Our research spans prevention, early detection, and the development of new life-changing treatments across a wide range of conditions including, depression and anxiety, psychosis and bipolar disorder, neurology and neuroscience, and youth mental health. We also support early career researchers with innovative ideas, providing their first critical funding to drive breakthroughs in mental health research.

We are at a critical moment in mental health research. Advances in science and technology give us a greater opportunity to deepen our understanding of the brain, challenge long-held misconceptions, and create lasting change in how mental illness is understood, prevented, and treated.

Leaving a gift in your will ensures that vital mental health research continues to advance, helping improve treatments, prevent illness, and transform lives. Every donation helps accelerate new discoveries and supports the next generation of mental health researchers.
