Funders

GlobalMinds has been made possible by the funding, design and delivery support of the Wellcome Trust and Johnson & Johnson. GlobalMinds Dementia benefits from that support.

Wellcome Trust is a leading global charity dedicated to their vision of ‘a healthier future for everyone’. Wellcome’s 2022-32 strategy identified three health challenges that must be addressed in order to achieve this. One of these was to drive new and better interventions for mental health conditions.

Johnson & Johnson is an industry partner who has been involved in mental health research since the 1950s. They have a particular interest in developing effective treatments for people with major depression or schizophrenia who continue to experience symptoms even with the best current treatments.
