Our core purpose is to improve the mental health and well being of the people of Derbyshire and to provide them with effective, accessible and modern mental health and learning disability services.

The catchment area population is circa 950,000, 1 in 4 of whom will experience mental health care needs and 1 in 7 of whom will require admission for specialist mental health care.

The Trusts vision contains One Ambition, Four Goals and Seven Principles and the numbers 147 have been adopted to remind us of the key statistics that affect us all.
