Norfolk And Waveney Mind

Dig out your wheels! Come and join our our brand new wellbeing cycling group, delivered in partnership with Pushing Ahead Norfolk, starting 1st June. It's for anyone living or working in and around the Heartsease area who'd like to improve their physical and mental wellbeing. In preparation, the kind folks at Pushing Ahead will also be offering a free monthly Dr Bike maintenance pop-up - first one on the 30th May on Witard Road.

Tomorrow is International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia. It was chosen on this date because on 17th May 1990, the World Health Organisation stopped classifying homosexuality as a mental illness.
Today we are extra pleased to update you on progress with our forthcoming LGBT+ project, which will explore the mental health and wellbeing needs of LGBT+ people in Norwich and Central Norfolk. . . We can confirm our Project Manager has been appointed and will be in post at the beginning of June. Happy #IDAHOBIT2019 :-)
