About the MIMHC Foundation
The Mortgage Industry Mental Health Charter Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to improving mental health and wellbeing within the UK mortgage industry. Through research, education, collaboration, and events, the Foundation supports signatories and industry partners to foster environments where people can thrive personally and professionally.
The Mortgage Industry‘ White Paper’ report explores the current sentiment which exists within the mortgage industry and importantly, highlights key areas where mental health provision needs to improve.
While there are some pleasing and promising trends from our 2025 results such as:
1 Employer participation in wellbeing initiatives is now up to 70 %( up from 52 % in 2024).
1 Professional contentment has improved vs 2024( 52 % are happy or love what they do which is up from 41 % last year).
1 Work / life balance is stabilising( c. 34 % say improved vs 21 % in 2024).
However, what is more concerning and points to the need for still more work to be done is: there still remains work to be done.
1 More people are working from home permanently or hybrid, yet 22 % indicate mental health is poor or of concern.
