WHY BEDER?
Beder is working hard to challenge the stigma surrounding mental health and suicide prevention, stimulate a dialogue to softly raise awareness and provide a platform for us all to play our part in normalising the conversation around these important societal issues.
Beder was founded by Razzak Mirjan and his family in November 2019 following the loss of Beder Mirjan who sadly took his own life at the age of 18 in April 2017.

What People Say
Marvin Sordell, Beder Ambassador
To me, Beder represents and encapsulates everything that tackling mental health awareness should be. Togetherness, friendship and joy. Mental health can be an incredibly difficult thing to discuss or address, but as opposed to focusing on the negative aspects that come with it, Razzak has managed to create an environment that allows people to look for light rather than see darkness.Marvin Sordell, Beder Ambassador
Boris Johnson, Prime Minister
I was incredibly moved to hear about your charity ‘Beder’ which does so much to help young people with their mental health. Helping other young people is a wonderful tribute to your brother, Beder.Boris Johnson, Prime Minister
Tom Cenci, Beder Ambassador & From Beder's Kitchen contributor
Beder has inspired me since I first heard of the charity; their approach to talking about mental health is refreshing and thoughtful, whilst tying in cooking through ‘From Beders Kitchen’ really opens up a creative and healing process that you don’t usually see.Tom Cenci, Beder Ambassador & From Beder's Kitchen contributor
Lawrence Price, Beder Ambassador
Beder seeks to normalise the conversation around a previously taboo subject and in doing so will save lives and enhance the quality of life for many others. The highlight has been the ongoing growth of a network of amazing individuals I am proud to learn and grow from week on week.Lawrence Price, Beder Ambassador
Charlie King, Beder Ambassador
Beder is inspirational in itself. From the core foundations of the charity to its objectives, not only is it a charity that gives so much back to mental health & suicide prevention, it also greats a safe space for people to understand it’s totally ok not to feel ok. Charlie King, Beder Ambassador
What are Beder Therapy Vouchers?
A first of its kind collaboration which will enable Beder to offer free therapy digitally to hundreds of people through the support of Mindler.
Beder want to help people overcome the typical barriers to entry when it comes to accessing therapy such as it being unaffordable and lengthy wait times, so Beder Therapy Vouchers will offer people up to 6 x 50 minute sessions and/or one year’s membership to Mindler’s iCBT self care platform.
