Mindapples
Mindapples is a global campaign that, since 2008, has been teaching people how their minds work and encouraging everyone to take better care of their minds. It builds apps and e-learning, delivers training to businesses and charities, and supplies campaign materials and support to voluntary groups, healthcare bodies, schools and universities to promote mental health and wellbeing.
Its professional training programmes have been used by some of the biggest names in global business, and have been shown in independent trials to help people handle stress and improve their wellbeing. Tens of thousands of people have now shared their 5-a-day for their minds via the Mindapples website, and at events and pop ups all around the world.

Andrew Gibson is the founder and Head Gardener of Mindapples. He founded the campaign in 2008 in response to the lack of attention being given by social innovators and campaigners to public mental health. Mindapples has since gone on to reach tens of thousands of people all around the world with positive messages about the health of our minds.

Prior to Mindapples, Andrew co-founded the influential social web start-up School of Everything in 2006, which won several awards for its innovative work connecting independent learners with teachers in their local areas. He has also worked with some of the biggest names in global business to help them get the best from their staff, including several of the world's leading financial institutions, Bupa, News UK, L'Oréal, PricewaterhouseCoopers and the Wellcome Trust. He has advised the UK Government on public health promotion, supported many entrepreneurs to launch and grow their ventures, and speaks internationally about business innovation and social change.

Editorial Reviews

Mindapples is an idea that is gaining ground at a time when both professionals and politicians are focusing on people's well-being.—Julie Cross, The Telegraph

Mindapples is a rather lovely thing - a small, social project with no other aim than to promote individual self-management of mental wellbeing.—Maureen Rice, UK launch editor of Psychologies Magazine
