Norfolk and Waveney Mind
We're Norfolk and Waveney Mind, your local mental health charity offering an extensive range of mental health services, along with associated training, advice and information. We believe that no one should have to face poor mental health alone and with the right support and resources anybody can create a life that feels meaningful to them. We work in our communities to raise awareness and reduce the stigma associated with mental health. With over one in four people experiencing a mental health problem and 104 people choosing to take their own lives each week in the UK, the need for good quality mental health support, advice and information is vital. As a local Mind, we are independent charity - we raise our own funds, and we have our own Board of Trustees who are responsible for how we’re run. Being local we understand our community and tailor our services in response to what people need most. Being part of the Mind network means we benefit from shared support, knowledge and ideas. Nationally, Mind gives advice and support to anyone who needs it, campaigns to improve services and raise awareness. We work in partnership with Mind nationally and the other local Minds in our network to deliver high quality services to anyone who needs them.
