Welcome to the MBC members area. This is your gateway to all the news, updates, events and resources you will need to support you and your organisation in embedding the Mindful Business Charter.
We held our Members Conference on the 12th of June, and it was an incredible, impactful and very full day!
As you will no doubt have seen from our social media posts, we heard from 15 speakers from a wide variety of roles, sectors and backgrounds all gathering to share insights and continue the conversations that really matter to us. Of course, the conference is only ever a great thing because of those who attend and support it, either in person or online - so thank you very much to everyone who took part on the day, watched, asked questions, gave us very valuable feedback, and of course - sang!

Part of our work includes listening to feedback from you, our members, about resources that will help you embed the Mindful Business Charter.
One thing we were asked for was evidence that our approach is supported by a strong business case.
As such, Charlotte Clegg, our Community Engagement Executive has been researching and writing a white paper -collating over a hundred sources including academic papers, expert opinion pieces, news reports, government reports, industry discourse and research articles to provide a strong commercial argument.
This paper gives an in-depth exploration of -
You can now access this paper in full here.
We are also holding an Insight Session discussing the paper which will be held at 16:00 (GMT) on the 15th of May. (If you haven't already received your invitation, you can email info@mindfulbusinesscharter.com or use the link in the Events Calendar above.)
To directly tackle mental health in the legal sector, we created a taskforce with the goal of producing the Best Practice Guidelines we published in September 2024 – Addressing the Mental Health Challenges in Legal Practice – which we followed up with non-sector specific guidelines along very similar lines in January 2025. We have since built up a wealth of resources to aid implementation and conducted a series of regional meetings to socialise them across the UK.
We are thrilled that our work to create the Best Practice Guidelines for the legal sector has been recognised with the Legal 500 UK ESG 2025 award for Best Mental Health & Wellbeing Initiative.
The real work now is how those guidelines get adopted and acted upon. That is the work that will ultimately make a difference and we of course will continue our work to support organisations in doing that.
Thank you to all who helped to create the Guidelines and the accompanying resources, to those who have hosted or attended our meetings and those who are then taking them back to firms to utilise them – in continuing to work together we really can achieve fantastic things.
Here you can find toolkits to get the ball rolling – straightforward guidance on how to embed the MBC principles into your organisation.
A large part of implementing the Mindful Business Charter is really about enacting behavioural change in your workplaces. As we appreciate that this can often be a sensitive and complex task, we have worked with the University of Central London and their Centre for Behavioural Change to bring you a variety of resources to help you. We were also delighted to work with them in completing some ground breaking research into MBC implementation - in both legal and non-legal sectors, a report of which you can find below.

The more organisations that understand what we, the MBC and all its signatories are trying to do, the more effective we can be. It really helps if you can talk to your partner organisations about the MBC and how it supports your employees and their ways of working. To help you with those discussions we have created some resources for you.
Developed by digital wellbeing experts Shine offline, these six bite size modules allow you to develop your understanding and gain practical tips to improve your relationship with your tech. It includes expert opinions from authors, psychologists and thought leaders, along with challenges, quizzes and accompanying written resources.

This section provides you with a wealth of resources, so you don’t have to reinvent the wheel. Feel free to use them as a starting point to adapt them to your organisation.

Our Trustees provide strategic guidance, governance and support for the MBC, enriched by their years of experience in a variety of areas. This section provides a short introduction to them all and outlines their areas of responsibility.
MBC is a charity; we take our governance responsibilities seriously and want to be open and transparent. In this section you will find documents about that in practice - our constitution, details of our AGMs and the reports the trustees produce annually to describe our activity.
The intention of the Mindful Business Charter is to remove unnecessary sources of stress and promote better mental health and wellbeing in the workplace. There will be times when long hours and stress cannot be avoided, but this isn’t always the case, and we want it to become the exception rather than the rule. As a business community we have a responsibility to do things differently.
