In the second half of 2006 Hamlet Trust set up and managed a pilot project in Newcastle, England, called Mainstreaming Business Support in Mental Health. The project aimed to reach users of mental health services wanting to become self-employed, or with an idea for setting up a small business. The project researched whether these people, if invited, would access the enterprise support networks already available to the general population. The scheme was a partnership between Hamlet Trust, Project North-East (one of the UK's largest enterprise agencies) and the research unit of the Royal College of Psychiatrists. The Trust completed this really useful report, including an account of the project, its objectives, successes, problems and recommendations, called 'Business Minds', for its funders in March 2007.
