While it’s true that there are some great organisations out there, please accept this as confirmation that we at Mentalk Health Sittingbourne are not connected or associated with any other men’s organisations. We take great pride in the fact that we operate independently, so always ensure you have the right organisation.
Mentalk Health Sittingbourne has implemented a robust safeguarding policy, along with an intricate infrastructure that adheres to both our ethical standards and stringent government guidelines. Professionalism, a high moral code, and an unwavering commitment to our members are paramount in all that we do.
You might be wondering how to ensure you have the right organisation. Mentalk Health Sittingbourne is the only men’s charity in Kent that is a fully registered Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). This status means that all decisions are made by a professional panel of trustees, always prioritising the best interests of those we serve. Furthermore, it ensures that all donations are continuously monitored, with allocations determined by this professional panel, ensuring that funds are never used for personal gain. As a CIO, our accounts undergo stringent oversight, and a thorough process regarding signatories is strictly followed.
If you encounter other organisations purporting to be charities, you may wish to ask for their charity registration number. While many organisations act as charities, unregistered ones function similarly to businesses and have the liberty to allocate funds as they see fit, including salaries for individuals. These non-registered charities do not benefit from the same strict government regulations concerning operational and financial conduct, which we adhere to meticulously.
We are registered under “Mentalk Swale”
