We would like to let people know about a busy time ahead for South Lakeland Mind, as next week (May 8-14) is Mental Health Awareness Week.

On Wednesday, May 10 at Stricklandgate House at Kendal we will be hosting a Body Shop party at 7.30 pm. Tickets are £2 and can be bought on the night. Come along and support our fundraising – and create a new look for yourself in doing so!

On Saturday, May 13, we will be in the Westmorland Shopping Centre at Kendal, just outside the indoor market. Please do come along and meet us there to find out more about the services we offer, or just to have a friendly chat.

We are also recruiting volunteers, so if you have a hidden talent, would like to learn a new skill, improve your CV or simply give something back to your community, you can contact us at info@slmind.org or phone 01539 740591.

South Lakeland Mind offers counselling (both indoor and outdoor), peer support, daily drop-ins and massage therapy, and is devoted to improving public understanding of mental health issues and challenging discrimination.

We work towards the promotion of better mental and emotion health and a greater sense of well-being for all in South Lakeland. We welcome the support of the whole community in doing this.
