Our strategy 2026-29
Building a better world together for everyone affected by bipolar
Bipolar UK's 2026-2029 strategy has been shaped by the experiences, insights and ideas of people affected by bipolar, helping us focus on what matters most. Over the next three years, we'll work together to raise awareness, strengthen support, advance research and drive positive change, so that everyone affected by bipolar has the opportunity to live well and fulfil their potential.

It all started with listening
Over the past year, Bipolar UK has listened carefully to our community. Nearly 500 people living with or affected by bipolar shared their experiences with us, telling us what's working, what isn't, and what they want to see in the future. Their voices have been at the heart of every step of this strategy's development.
We've used these insights to shape our priorities for the next three years, building on our strengths while responding to the challenges our community faces every day. Together, we've created a strategy that will help us reach more people, provide better support, strengthen research and influence change where it's needed most.
Our four strategic priorities
To build a better world together for everyone affected by bipolar, we will focus on four strategic priorities:
Together, we can build a system that recognises bipolar earlier, supports people between crises, strengthens families and communities, and helps people affected by bipolar not just survive, but live well.
