Togetherall Guardian Council

Togetherall is committed to improving the mental health of its members, growing the scale and diversity of its online community, and continuing a sustainable business. In 2020, we formed the Guardian Council to help us stay focused on our mission while we continue to grow as a company.

With the guidance of our Guardian council –  made up of impartial specialists with expertise in both mental health and business – we constantly review company activity to maintain the highest standards, both clinically and commercially, whilst staying true to our charter.

The two questions they help us to answer are:

  • Is Togetherall fulfilling our purpose?
  • How can we continually improve to ensure our principles and actions align?
