Make it a Call
Mental Health UK has partnered with iD Mobile this Mental Health Awareness Week, encouraging the nation to ditch the texts and Make It a Call.
Get involved by donating now to support Mental Health UK's work, and be part of Make It a Call by picking up the phone to someone you care about.
Why Make It a Call
Across the UK, how we stay in touch is changing. Many people now rely on messages as their default way of communicating.
Research behind Make It a Call shows that this shift isn't about people caring less. Instead, people worry about interrupting, about not knowing what to say, or about making a call feel awkward or intrusive.
The result is fewer real conversations - even in moments where a phone call might help people feel more connected.
Make It a Call exists to address that change. It encourages people to consider when a phone call, rather than a message, could make a difference.
How to get involved
This Mental Health Awareness Week, Mental Health UK has partnered with iD Mobile.
If you want to get involved, all you need to do is:
- Snap a photo or record yourself holding up the ‘Make it a Call’ hand sign
- Use #MakeItACall, tag @idmobileuk and the person you pledge to call
- Finally, post it to your Instagram story

Who We Are
We are the charity for everyone’s mental health.
We challenge the causes of poor mental health and give people the tools they need to live their best possible life at home, school, and work.
In a rapidly changing world, Mental Health UK brings together the heritage and experience of four charities from across the country who’ve been supporting people with their mental health for over 50 years.
Working UK-wide, we deliver both national and local services that enable and empower people to understand and manage their mental health in a person-centred and empathetic way.
With our local service delivery and national expertise in supporting people whose lives are affected by mental health problems, we have been able to mark a significant footprint in the areas that deeply challenge our mental health and stability.
We provide support and services for some of the biggest societal challenges that pose a threat to people’s mental health, including money problems, navigating through the system to get the right support, understanding mental health, loneliness and isolation, and resilience in young people.
