A new evening mental health support phone line has been launched for residents across the district, thanks to local charity Bath Mind.
Bath Mindline offers free telephone-based support and crisis assistance every Monday to Friday, from 5pm to 9pm.
The service is available to anyone living in Bath and North East Somerset who needs a listening ear or mental health support.
Kate Morton, CEO of Bath Mind, said: “We are delighted to be able to offer a local and timely phone-based support and crisis service in direct response to the needs and wishes of the people of Bath and North East Somerset – especially at a time when mental health challenges are on the rise.”
This new service has been made possible thanks to the support of the Community Matters store on Chelsea Road in Bath, who selected Bath Mind as Charity of the Year in 2024, along with generous community donations and the support of those who use Bath Mind’s services.
