MIMHC extends 500 Voices Survey deadline after record response
The annual survey, now in its fifth year, had been due to close on Friday 14th August but will remain open until Friday 21st August.
The Mortgage Industry Mental Health Charter (MIMHC) has extended the deadline for its 2026 500 Voices Survey by seven days following a record number of responses from mortgage professionals.
The annual survey, now in its fifth year, had been due to close on Friday 14th August but will remain open until Friday 21st August.
MIMHC said the extension would allow more people across the mortgage industry to contribute to its research into wellbeing, working lives and mental health.
The findings will form the basis of the 2026 MIMHC White Paper and help inform the Charter’s priorities and practical actions for 2027.
Jason Berry (pictured), co-founder of the Mortgage Industry Mental Health Charter, said: “The response to 500 Voices has been incredibly encouraging and to deliver a record number of responses in our 5th year is exactly what our team wanted.
“Rather than close the door when there is clearly still momentum, the decision was made earlier this week to give the industry one final week to have its say.
“This isn’t about chasing a number for the sake of it. The more people we hear from, the more representative and powerful the evidence becomes. We want to understand where things are improving, where pressures remain and, crucially, what our industry can collectively do about them.
“Behind every response is a person and a real experience of working within our industry. Our responsibility is to listen to those experiences and then turn the insight into meaningful action.
“I’d therefore encourage every mortgage professional who hasn’t yet participated to give us a few minutes of their time before Friday 21st. I’d also ask our MIMHC Signatories and supporters to give the survey one final push across their organisations and networks.”
This year’s survey is also being supported by Pepper Money, which has pledged to contribute £2 to MIMHC for every completed response.
Berry added: “We have always believed that better evidence should lead to better conversations, and better conversations must ultimately lead to better action.
“500 Voices gives us an opportunity to listen at scale. We now have seven more days to make that collective voice as strong as possible.”
The 500 Voices Survey closes on Friday 21st August. The survey can be completed here.
