This year The Asda Foundation are offering funding to local charities and groups who have worked hard throughout the pandemic.

Peer support allows people to use their own experiences, to help each other who are experiencing similar issues.
Here we've shared how our peer support services can help you or someone affected by mental health.

Our many mental health workers have been having welfare conversations over the phone, speaking with some service two to three times a week. We’ve heard from people who have been struggling with suicidal thoughts, because they haven’t been able to see loved ones for months as they are shielding and can't go out.
We want to continue being there in whatever way we can for our community, because no one should have to face a mental health problem alone. But we need your support to do this.
Just £10 could pay the cost of a 40 minute phone call to de-escalate a crisis. Please share this post to raise awareness of our work or if you can, make a one-off or regular donation at mind-blmk.org.uk/donate
