South Somerset Mind

South Somerset Mind offers a range of activities to enable people who experience mental and emotional health issues to recover. They provide intervention and support to reduce the effect of long term mental health issues. The organisation was established in 1985.

South Somerset District Council awarded a grant of £1,260 to 'South Somerset Mind' in January 2011, to help fund the renovation of their kitchen.

The kitchen is used to run cooking classes and healthy cooking projects from the Markwick Center. They also cook meals as part of their community days on Wednesdays.  They plan to replace the cooker, sink and worktops and install a semi-industrial floor covering.

Local Doctor Surgeries have reported higher than county average instances of Mental Health issues in the area and South Somerset Mind provides a valuable service for these residents.
