Today we gave huge congratulations to one of our amazing volunteers, who celebrated her 10 years of volunteering at Heads Up Somerset!

Liz Young continues to contribute so much to our charity, helping clients in our Mental Health & Wellbeing group, and has also raised to date, an amazing £2,000 for Heads Up Somerset through making wonderful sewn items to sell at the Mendip Pantry shop in Chewton Mendip.

It’s Time to Talk Day….

It’s the nation’s biggest mental health conversation and a chance to listen, share, and talk about what really matters.

What is Time to Talk Day?

It’s a day for all of us to come together to talk, listen and change lives.

Why is talking important? 🗣️

Talking openly and honestly can be the first step towards better mental health for everyone. It can even save lives.

Talking can reduce stigma and help people feel comfortable enough to seek help when they need it.

Brave the big talk this .

Opening up about our mental health can be the first step towards getting help.

🎬 New Short Film Premiere! 🌟

We’re thrilled to share something truly special with you…..

Our charity has been working tirelessly for 14 years to improve the lives of people in our community living with mental health challenges—and now, we are delighted that thanks to the wonderful film and editing skills of the lovely Paul Gregory, you can see just a glimpse of the journey and the impact we are so proud to be making.

This short film tells the stories of hope, resilience, and the power of connection.

It’s a celebration of the incredible individuals we support and the difference we can make together; Paul has captured it beautifully and between you and me, it made us all quite emotional.

Thank you to everyone who played their part, no matter how big or small, but particular thanks must go to Emma and Lisa who are both amazing, inspirational ladies 🥰

👉 Watch the film and join us in creating a brighter future for mental health in our community.
