🏹 Happy Robin Hood Day! We’re so lucky to call Nottinghamshire our community. 💙

Robin Hood Day is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate everything that makes our local area special.

And today, we want to share something you might not know…

💙 Did you know your local Mind is independent?

Although we’re part of a wider network of around 100 Local Minds across England and Wales, Nottinghamshire Mind is independently run. We make our own decisions and raise our own funds to support people across Nottinghamshire.

Being local means we understand our community. It means we can shape our services around real lives, real challenges and the needs of the people we support.

Because no two lives are the same, and neither is the support you need.

From reducing mental health stigma and sharing information to building resilience and creating spaces where people feel heard, accepted and supported, we’re here for our community.

Every penny raised locally helps us continue this vital work. When you support Nottinghamshire Mind, you’re helping friends, family members and neighbours right here in our local area. 💙

This Robin Hood Day, help us keep supporting our community, today and into the future.

💙 Donate today and support your local Mind:

Thank you for being part of our Nottinghamshire community. Together, we can make a difference.

Are you looking for an evening class that supports your wellbeing?

Art in Mind sessions are a gentle, welcoming space where you can relax, slow down, and take some time just for you. There’s no pressure to create anything “perfect”, it’s all about enjoying the process and giving yourself a chance to unwind.

Each session includes calming guided meditation, simple breathing exercises, and easy, enjoyable art activities. You don’t need any experience, just come as you are.

Our next class is tomorrow, 15th October, 6-8pm.

If you’ve been feeling a little overwhelmed or simply need a moment to pause, breathe, and reconnect with yourself, this could be a lovely place to start.

✨ Spaces are still available, but it’s your last chance to book!
