Are we Mind - The Mental Health Charity?

No. We are an affiliation of Mind – The Mental Health Charity and follow their core principles, but we are what is known as a Local Mind, which means we our own independent charity, run our own groups and as such are required to raise our own funds. We heavily rely on local funding and donations to keep our services going. 

Testimonies

Such a friendly place where I can really be myself

I feel I understand more of what has happened to me, and my anxiety and how to break my goals down into bite-sized portions

I’ve realised that I’m not alone and I have somewhere to go that can help. I’ve learned to try and face things rather than run away

You’ve made my day. You always do

I feel like you understand and can relate, I can talk to you
