Community Advice and Support Line
Local residents can contact Community Wellbeing Hub for support on 0300 247 0050
We were established in 1998 by a group of local people with lived experience of mental ill health who wanted to provide information and activities for people in the community. Since then we have worked hard to develop what we do in response to local needs.
Many of our current staff have lived experience of facing mental health challenges; we have a greater understanding of the community that we support.
We are in contact with over 3,400 people annually to improve, prevent and maintain mental health and wellbeing.
While we are affiliated to national Mind, we receive no direct funding from them. We are a self – sustaining, independent locally run charity.
Live, Learn and Share encapsulates our core services which empower people to engage or participate in our early intervention work to prevent mental ill health and improve their own wellbeing.
We host over 12 online and face-to-face wellbeing support groups, offering you space to try a new activity, and speak openly about your mental health and wellbeing. Find Out More
Mind’s online community It’s a powerful thing to connect with someone else over shared experiences. Side by Side is an online community where you can listen, share and be heard. Find Out More
Bath Mind couldn’t exist without your support – whether that’s through a donation, leaving a gift in your Will, or organising a fundraising event – you can help us be there for more people. Find Out More

This week is not only #GreatBigGreenWeek, but also #recyclingweek!
Our team at Greenlinks, Bath Mind's ecotherapy gardening group, have got the perfect wellbeing activity that incorporates both of these celebration weeks.
If you're in need of a watering can, you can make one using an empty, used plastic milk carton. Here's how:
🥛 Make sure the milk bottle has been washed thoroughly with hot soapy water to get rid of any milk
🌿Place the lid of the bottle onto a wooden board and make a few holes in the lid using a nail or corkscrew
🕳 Make a small hole in the handle of the bottle to allow air to get in to help the water flow well
🎨 At this stage, you can get creative! When the outside of the bottle is dry, decorate it with paints, permanent markers, stickers or anything else you'd like!
💧 Fill the bottle with water and use to water any plants you have!
