Penumbra Mental Health to become the new host for See Me, Scotland's programme to tackle mental health stigma and discrimination.

Penumbra, one of Scotland’s largest mental health charities, will pick up the baton on April 1st from SAMH (Scottish Action for Mental Health), who has hosted See Me Scotland since 2002. On a day-to-day basis, See Me will be managed by Penumbra in partnership with the Mental Health Foundation.

The Scottish Government has funded See Me since its inception in 2002 and will continue to support See Me with a further £1 million of funding in 26/27 as its operations transition to Penumbra.

Mike Burns, Chief Executive Officer, Penumbra Mental Health said:

“I can confirm that from Wednesday 1 April 2026, Penumbra Mental Health alongside the Mental Health Foundation will be the managing partners for See Me, Scotland’s national programme to end mental health stigma and discrimination. We welcome the Scottish Government’s continuing commitment to this programme. Our collective vision is for a fair and inclusive Scotland, free from mental health stigma and discrimination.

“Our understanding of mental health stigma and discrimination is grounded in the experience of our mental health peer workforce, the largest in Scotland, and the people with lived and living experience we support every day. See Me has a rich history and we’re looking forward to helping to shape the future of the programme and playing our part in substantially reducing mental health stigma and discrimination and its effects in the months ahead.

“We are currently working with SAMH and the Mental Health Foundation to ensure a smooth transition for the programme, its staff, volunteers, partners, stakeholders, and suppliers."

Fantastic night at our parliamentary reception last night, celebrating 40 years of Penumbra Mental Health! 💜

Thank you to everyone who joined our CEO Mike Burns, Chair Sara Robinson, and host Kevin Stewart MSP to celebrate the journey so far and the future we’re building together.

Mike reflected on what has shaped Penumbra over the past 40 years - a commitment to values-led practice, the strength of peer support, and the belief that everything we do must have a clear purpose.

This year, we expect to support more than 24,000 people across Scotland, which acts as a powerful reminder of both the scale of need and the impact of compassionate, person-centred support.
