Since 2020, our evening support crisis phone line has been open 365 days a year, offering vital support for people in mental health distress or crisis.
Due to funding, this essential service will close on the 31st of March. We urgently need our communities support so that we can have an evening support phone line in BaNES (Bath Mindline).
We urgently need our communities support to keep a phone line running.
Each year, our phone line provides 73,440 minutes of telephone support to people in mental health crisis, such as Sarah, who shared –
This service has helped me during some very distressing times. I really hope it can continue to operate.
A local social prescriber also shared their experience of using the service with the community –
I make heavy use of Bath Mind’s service to help vulnerable patients to manage emotional distress, including as safety planning for suicidal risk. It would be a shame to lose the phone support element of this service, as both F2F and phone options are important for accessibility, including as accommodations for disability.
We need to raise £50,000 to keep a scaled-down version of the phoneline running for another year. Every donation, big or small, brings us one step closer to ensuring that no one has to face a mental health crisis alone.
If we don’t reach our goal, your donation will still make a difference – helping to fund Bath Mind’s other vital services, including our wellbeing groups and face-to-face crisis support.
With your support, we can continue to offer a lifeline to those in need. Please donate and help us save our evening support phone line.
