Bath Mind is the leading mental health charity in B&NES, providing a broad spectrum of mental health support to people in our local community. Bath Mind is an independent charity, and whilst affiliated with the national Mind charity, its finances are totally independent. At this time, more than ever, Bath Mind needs to raise funds to meet the increasing mental health needs of people throughout B&NES. Many of Bath Minds services are specifically created to relieve pressure on the NHS, so that people can speak with someone instead of attending Accident & Emergency or involving the NHS intensive teams.
