In Glasgow and Edinburgh, the build-to-rent operator’s collaboration aims to raise both vital funds and public awareness for mental health through a series of events and initiatives hosted for PLATFORM_’s residents.

Across the wider PLATFORM_ portfolio, residents are coming together to support mental health and wellbeing through a variety of local initiatives. In Glasgow, the community will mark World Mental Health Day with a full day of activities, including guided meditation, wellbeing resources, and a raffle in support of SAMH.

Jean-Marc Vandevivere, chief executive of PLATFORM_, said: “Mental health is a vital part of thriving communities. Through these partnerships with Mind and SAMH, we’re creating opportunities for our residents and neighbours to come together, share experiences, and contribute to a cause that touches so many lives. Nurturing Neighbourhoods is not just an ESG strategy, it’s our commitment to making a positive difference where we live and work.”

Chris Docherty, account manager at SAMH, added: “We’re delighted to be partnering with PLATFORM_ to support mental health in Scotland. Community is at the heart of everything we do at SAMH, and by working together we can create spaces where people feel connected, supported and understood. The events and fundraising taking place at PLATFORM_ will not only raise vital funds but also help open conversations around mental health, making a positive difference for residents and the wider community.”

The upcoming events will engage residents, and staff, encouraging participation in fun, inclusive activities while supporting the work these charities do to improve mental health services, reduce stigma, and provide essential support.
