Mental Health

Mind in West Essex

Mind in West Essex provides people of all ages with a safe place where they can talk openly about their mental health, and get the support needed to improve it.

By providing activities, services, support, and information in line with people’s needs, the charity  has been able to understand how they can best support the community’s mental health and wellbeing. 

With a grant from us, they have been able to pilot a new programme recruiting volunteers who may have also accessed mental health services themselves. They have found that volunteers have reported that the opportunity to make a difference in someone’s life is incredibly valuable for their own wellbeing as well as for the wellbeing of the person that they are supporting.
