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.
Registration is still open for the Mindful Business Charter Conference 2026!
Building on the success of our 2024 and 2025 events, this year’s conference will bring together colleagues from across the MBC community to connect, share and learn. We’ll be exploring some of the most relevant and fast‑evolving workplace topics, with:
Only a handful of in-room places now remain before we move to a waiting list for attendance at the Royal College of Nursing. If you’re hoping to join us in person and haven’t registered already, we’d encourage you to do so as soon as possible.Unlimited online attendance remains available for all MBC members, so colleagues across your organisation can still join virtually. Attendance is free and exclusive to the MBC Community. Please share with relevant colleagues
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.
If you're new to the MBC, or if you want to refresh your approach to implementing the Charter in your organisation, take a look at our new Roadmap - which replaces our old Toolkit.
Packed full of ideas, examples and resources, in an easy to follow, step by step format, this document can help you. no matter what stage of the journey you are on.

We want to make it as easy as possible for you to share the work of the MBC with your colleagues, old and new.
As such, we have created this video for you to use internally, to help new recruits, (or people who might want a refresh) understand what the MBC is, and why its important to your organisation.

The Best Practice Guidelines complement the MBC Charter by providing a set of guidelines focused on recognising and minimising the risk factors which give rise to poor mental health. Here you will find the Guidelines, for the legal and non-legal sectors, and associated materials which will help you to implement them in your organisation.
Here you will find a number of resources to get the ball rolling - tools and checklists to assist you in embedding and implementing 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.
These training materials should assist you in making the case for embedding the MBC principles in your organisation. You will also find six bite size modules (developed by digital wellbeing experts Shine offline) which 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.
As you travel along your MBC journey you may find you want to explore things in more depth, enrol Champions to help you strengthen the message across the organisation, or pick up some tips from organisations who are a little further along than you. This section provides you with a wealth of resources from other member organisations, so you don’t have to reinvent the wheel. Feel free to use them as a starting point to adapt them to your organisation.
As a signatory you can use these Logos and Visual assets on internal and external communication to help send the message that you are committed to reducing unnecessary stress through aligning with the MBC.
The latest MBC news in the media.
Signatory calls are where we allow our member organisations to give us updates on how they have been implementing the Mindful Business Charter, giving us all an opportunity to learn from each other. Here you can find an archive of past Signatory Calls.
Our Insight Sessions are brought to you by external speakers on diverse topics such as Neurodiversity, Stress and Burnout. Here you can find an archive of our past Insight Sessions.
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.
