MIRICYL stands for Mental Illness Research in Children and Young Lives. We are a Scottish based charity campaigning for fairer funding UK wide.
Our vision is for a world free from mental illness and the stigma attached. We aim to fund research and campaign for infants, children, young people and their families affected by mental illness. Taking the amount of charitable funding for cancer and a World Health Organisation measure for the impact of mental health on young people, the UK should be funding over £100,000,000 of charitably funded research into children and young people’s mental health. Currently, even including government research, it is less than half this. Help us change this. Let’s create a miracle for mental health.
