Membership and governors

It’s free to become a member of Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation trust and doing so is a great way of challenging the stigma and discrimination that people with mental health difficulties can sometimes face.

Our trust is actively recruiting and engaging members, and is committed to creating a dialogue with our communities. Our trust currently has 13,677 members.  Members can include service users, carers, staff or local people with an interest in the trust.
