Christmas Support.
20 December 2023
We are here for you this Festive Season.
We know that Christmas isn’t the “The most wonderful time of the year” for many of us, especially those of us struggling with Mental Health problems. So, this Christmas, we are wishing you a peaceful and gentle festive season!
We have worked hard to keep many of our services operating over Christmas and with minimal disruption. Please see below a full list of our services that will remain open and any changes you need to be aware of.
Crisis Support Drop-in Service
There will be no change to our Crisis Support Drop-in Services, they will continue to be open Friday (6-11pm), Saturday (6-11pm) and Sunday (2.30 – 5.30pm).
Mental Wellbeing Services
Many of our Mental Wellbeing Services will continue as normal. The only changes you need to be aware of, there will be no Mindful Crafts on the 25th of December and our MindSpace walk at Sinfin Moor will move from the 1st of January to the 2nd of January.
