We're thrilled to share that Mind in Gwent has been awarded £10,000 from The Hospital Saturday Fund – the maximum grant available through their funding programme.

This funding will enable us to extend our Information, Advice and Assistance service to rural communities across Gwent for the next 12 months.

Our Rural Communities Support Worker Helen regularly meets with members of the farming community at the Monmouthshire Rural Support Centre in Raglan Livestock Market – a vital hub where people can connect and seek support away from the isolation that can often come with rural life.

Thanks to this grant, we will be able to provide an additional day of rural outreach each week, helping us break down geographical barriers and ensure more farming families and rural residents can access the mental health information, advice and support they need, regardless of where they live in Gwent.

We would like to thank The Hospital Saturday Fund for their generosity and for recognising the importance of improving access to mental health support in our rural communities.
