Having consulted with our service users, we have reluctantly decided that our peer support and other mental wellbeing support groups will not run this week. However we will be offering all those who usually attend (and anyone else who would like one) a wellbeing check-up by phone. Our support workers will be in touch to set this up. If you have a 1-2-1 appointment booked for this week, please contact your support worker for an update. Please keep well and know that we are here for you, whatever you are going through. Give us a call on 01278 421190 during the day or Mindline on 01823 276892 between 8pm-11pm, 7 days a week.
