The Psychiatry Research Trust was formed in 1982 with the sole aim of raising funds for research into mental illness and brain disease.

Since that date the Trust has raised in excess of GBP 6m which has been used to fund research projects covering a wide spectrum of mental health conditions and brain disease: lectures in aspects of mental health; bursaries to enable students to study and also to carry out research projects; prizes to encourage excellence in research by trainee psychiatrists and basic scientists; purchase of essential research equipment. This work is vital not only because it is directed at securing better treatment for sufferers but also because it seeks to understand the underlying causes of mental illness and brain disease with the aim of finding means of prevention and cures for these illnesses.
