Business Minds was an innovative partnership between PNE and the Hamlet Trust which ran from March-December 2006, to give individuals with mental health problems greater control over their working lives, by helping them to start their own businesses.

“I would encourage anyone with a mental health problem and an ambition of starting their own business to contact PNE. "

"I think a lot of people might think it’s too complicated or difficult, but it doesn’t have to be, and it could completely change their life.”
