The story

Take a look at our video case study and, in under two minutes, discover more about how we created a platform enabling staff and volunteers to:

Self-serve and forge connections across the federation
Learn and grow through shared experiences and resources
Stay up-to-date with federation-wide updates
Engage in meaningful dialogues via streamlined Discourse access

For Mind, the pathway to a collaborative future began with a deep understanding of present needs and aspirations of its devoted team.

The outcomes

Platform metrics from 2023

The overall stats from 2023, show 9,000+ users across the federation and 317,000+ views.

This demonstrates the platform’s effectiveness to enhance knowledge sharing, networking, and collaboration across Mind’s federated network of over 100 independent local Minds.

Working with Torchbox has been consistently positive. Their support across our Workplace Wellbeing platform and the local Minds multisite intranet has been invaluable. These services enable local Minds—complimentary parts of Mind—to manage their own intranets while remaining connected to the wider organisation. Torchbox’s team is responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to helping us deliver on our mission.
