BSA Signs Mortgage Industry Mental Health Charter

The Building Societies Association (BSA) has signed the Mortgage Industry Mental Health Charter. This move reaffirms the BSA’s commitment to supporting positive mental health and wellbeing across the mortgage sector.

Established in 2021, the Mortgage Industry Mental Health Charter brings together organisations from across the mortgage and wider property finance industry to help ensure that nobody feels they have to face mental health challenges alone. According to Mortgage Strategy, more than 400 organisations have now signed the charter, representing over 30,000 people working across the sector.

The Charter works with organisations to promote better mental health through awareness, education, collaboration, and practical support. Its initiatives include Mental Health First Aid training, educational webinars, networking opportunities, and wellbeing events throughout the year.

For UK letting agents and inventory clerks, the BSA’s participation in the Charter highlights a growing industry focus on mental health and wellbeing. The Charter’s activities and resources may offer support and guidance for professionals working in the property sector.
