Our partnership with both Turnin9 Point and Framework continued to grow and develop. Crisis Sanctuaries provision has increased and continue5 to provide much needed support to the people of Nottinghamshire and Nottingham City.

Helping me to look forward rather than looking back and that made me feel a lot better.
I feel better knowing that there is support out there and they listen.
Learning coping techniques to manage my anxiety.
Attending these community services has given me the opportunity to meet new people. attending these community services has also helped with improving my confidence
All the techniques I received to cope with days I’m feeling low.
I found the wellbeing walk a step out of my comfort zone and probably wouldn't have done it on my own. I found it a really positive experience.
I have plans for the future and I know how to get more support if I need it.
It has been such a wonderful journey of self discovery and finding out there ARE people that care about my own well-being and that I’m not alone.
The useful thing I find with attending the community services is the support is first class. The people who attend the community services all support me.

New Horizons In 2023 we said 'cheerio' to our CEO Nic Roberts who had worked in the Local Mind Network for over 20 years and drove the bringing together of the County based Local Minds to create Nottinghamshire Mind. -After manyyears and wonderful memories working across Mind in Nottinghamshire, a time has come, both personally and professionally to look to pastures new.

My time here has been busy, rewarding, demanding and at times emotional and exhausting but I have loved every minute and have no doubt that the team l am leaving behind have the skills, passion and creativity to continue to lead the organisation on to bigger and brighter things" Nic Roberts
