Might you be interested in using your own personal experience of mental ill health in a positive way? If so why not join the Peer Support Volunteer team in providing opportunities for safe social contact and informal support.
People who need some additional support with their mental health can relax, feel accepted and understood, and learn to feel at ease with others.
Peer Supporters are all adults with personal experience of mental ill health. They receive full training and ongoing support to run activity groups. Our peer support reading group pictured is just one example.

Councillor Clive Souter presented cheque for wonderful £265.22 raised by hosting a Talking Tea Party for Mind in West Essex.
Talking is key to wellbeing, there’s nothing like a good cup of tea and chat to show you care about how someone is feeling. Showing an interest in a person’s wellbeing has reciprocal benefits for you too! You never really know someone until you have time to actually listen to what they’re saying. In the busy world we live in, it’s easy to walk by rather than say hi, how are you?
We are delighted to receive the support from Councillor Souter and all who donated, a great way to have a conversation about mental health.
