About the foundation
About our Sunderland charity
Helping young minds thrive — not just survive. We are a Sunderland charity making compassionate mental-health support easier to find for families in Sunderland and across the North East.
Who we are
A place to begin.
The Revivor Foundation is a community mental-health charity. We bring people, families, practitioners, volunteers, and local partners into a more connected way of caring.
We know that asking for help can feel like a big step. Our role is to make the next step feel possible: with a listening ear, practical support, and a clear route to care.
Our purpose is rooted in dignity. There's no equality in inequality, so access should not be shaped only by money, distance, or knowing the right words.
What we do
Family mental health support that meets real life.
Small steps make big changes. We offer different ways to connect, learn, and feel supported, because one route will not fit every person or every season.

One-to-one counselling
A private, supportive space to talk through what is happening and find a way forward.
