A CHARITY has branched out to help people during the coronavirus pandemic.

Self Harm Awareness For All (SAFA) is extending its support lines to all members of the community as a result of the lockdown.

The charity has a team of experienced counsellors who can provide a listening ear to anyone who needs someone to talk to.

To access support call the charity's Covid-19 hotline on 01229 832269.

The call-handler will take basic details and then a counsellor will call back.
