Monday started off rather windy and raining, the clocks go back this coming weekend - Im sure many of us have felt our mood dip.
Our poor bodies and minds naturally want to slow down, darker morning starts and early darkness in the evenings have an impact.

We are doing our little bit by running our different little groups, providing volunteers in the community so that there is someone to talk to. All you need sometimes is someone to fully listen and our team are that someone!

There are also lots of activities around the Bay to join in with, to help the Autumn and Winter become a little bit brighter. The fabulous Torbay Community Builders will point you in the right direction. If youre around Brixham this week check out the Festival of Arts Brixham - F.A.B

Whatever you're doing this week, we wish you the best it can possibly be.

Support sessions : healthymindsappointments@proton.me
Wednesday The Bay Coffee Company
Friday Paignton Library

We are very pleased to announce that, thanks to all of you, over £9000 has been raised so far for the Torbay Baton of Hope Legacy fund...

Our aim, in the lead up to, throughout the day and into the future has always been to promote better mental health across The Bay, raise awareness of the impact of su***de and spread a message of hope, with a focus on establishing a legacy for future generations.

The Baton of Hope needed to be more than an impactful one-day event and our Torbay su***de prevention legacy grant pot (which will contain the money raised) is a key part of the legacy we wanted to create. It will be used to support grassroots activity here in Torbay that promotes good mental health and helps prevent su***des now and in the future.

If you would like to support the cause, please visit our website for more information.

Gamers club is back on October 18th
We are hoping to increase numbers so that we can continue to run.

Sessions are donation based, we provide games & refreshments but you can bring your own.

You need to be over 18 no upper age limit - its a very quiet secure location with lift access, and a small group which reduces anxiety.

This is a great way to make new contacts and like minded people, which isn't always easy.
