Wish (charity)

The second office is based in Liverpool and serves the North and Midlands region, including Wales.

Wish is a national charity that was founded in 1987 by Prue Stevenson, Terri Simpson and Kimberley Andrews.

[1] Female patients in these hospitals were often subjected to appalling and degrading conditions, and many didn't require such a high level of security.

The charity was originally called Women in Special Hospitals and Prison Psychiatric Units.

Over two decades after it was founded, Wish is now returning to its campaigning roots, as well as continuing to provide independent advocacy and emotional support to women with mental health needs in secure settings and in the community.
