Actlvlllgs and achlevemenls
The mln achlevemenls and performance of the charfty durlng the year.
MhlST Is a grassrcM)ts charity SUPFM)rting vulnerable people Ilvlng In the Bolton area with mental health
challenges. Our purpose is to help people to support wellbeing. MhlST services are fr88 at the poinl Of
access, Inclusive, responsive and creative. We are committgd to supporting service users in buildlng
thelr reslllence and driving their personal recovery to dèvelop self-management strategies and connect
through ongoing peer support.
We are commilted to creating a safe and non-judgmental space where people can receiv9 a warm
welcome and help lo access the right support at the rlght lime. We believe everyone has the right to be
lisianed to, heard, and have a voice, and every individual is at the centre of decision-making.
Overall referrals remain at a similar level to that in previous years.
A kay Issue ldontified.was and remalns that those presenting werelare too poorly to fit into primary caré
provision and not poorly enough (due to mental distress) to require a crlsis or socondary care
interventlon. We haver also begun to notice that significant reasons for attendance and deteriorating
m8ntal health is lon81iness and isolation.
Thg Complexty [multiple co-ocGurring difficuttiesl and acuity [the dilticutty or severity of the problem] of
the mental health. of people that use MhlST both r8main high. Thgreforg we can say that most peopl8
accessing MhlST services are reporting significantly deteriora￿ng mental health.

Loun
In partnership with BANDIFamily Action and GMMH IGreater Manchester Mental Health NHS
Mental Health Foundation Trust], MhlST has been commissiongd by GMICB [Greater
Manchester Integrated Care Board] to deliver the listenlng lounge offer in Bolton. The service
began on the 2nd Auoust 2023 and has gone from strength to strength.
ThB"servlco is open every day from 15:00 to 22:00 for people that are experiencing their own
self defined crisls. People can arrive In person without an appointment beiweon 16.'00 and
19-00 and oulslde of these tlmes an appJintm8nt is needed.
In addilion to the afternoon and evenlng work we are also providing an advocacy sorvic8 in
linked to our main s8rvice. We have also Introduced a new element of the service whlch Is what
we call a ￿rM navigatorf. The navigator replaces signpostlng. We have realised that
slgnFX)Sting does not work well for peopla In crisls. A b&tter and more effective solution is to
provide a navigator who can go wth clients to whatever aF)polntments or services are bost able
to help.
The purpose of the seNice is to divgrt dgmand from A&E. It is effeclive in this alm.

collaboration ￿1th NWAS [North West Ambulan￿ Servicel.. Thg seNice is basgj at th9 NWAS
centre in Manchester
The idea of thls seNlce Is that people who need a mental health response after having rung
999 and they do not need an ambulance.
Onco the NW AS call handlers have established that it's not a physical problem they will pass
the call to mental health nurses from either Pennine care or GMMH who will conduct a clinical
risk assessment over the phone. Depending upjn the cllnlcal risk assessment those calls will
then be passed to the navigators for distribution across Greatgr Manchester. It is importanl that
navlgators know about services in each of the 10 GM districts which they can leam.
The objective Df the role is to try and stop the revolvlng door. It is not just about slgn posting il's
much more about doing a warm handover to setvices.
.GMP will also be involved as part of the mgntal health nurse prOvis￿On going out to see people
in those cases where it is necessary.
Theservlce Is a 24 hour a day servSce running every day of tho year. The offer provides for all
