Read all about what happened at our Summer sporting challenge, Total Knockout!

Congratulations to Croftlands Park who fought a very close battle with 3 other teams and managed to come out on top at the end of the day. All 16 of our teams and all of our volunteers deserve huge credit for helping make the event run smoothly and for competing in less than ideal weather. It was clear from the photos that you were all really enjoying the challenge!

A big thank you for supporting our cake sale

A big thankyou to everyone who helped make our cake sale a huge success. With the help of local businesses and our street collectors you helped us raise an amazing £407.74!!

Celebrating 30 years of Ulverston Mind

This year we celebrate 30 years of delivering mental health services in the district. This has been achieved in no small part, due to the commitment of local people who have donated their time and money to support our work.

We're planning a series of events throughout the year to celebrate and we'd like to get as many of you involved as possible so hopefully there is an event that interests you and you can join us and help us celebrate.

So far this year you have raised £3195.74 in supporting Ulverston Mind!

It would be fantastic if you could join us for the coming events!

Services & Projects

These are the services and projects that we're currently running

Some of our services are scheduled on certain days and at certain times whilst others are available all the time. For services that require more privacy we hold sessions at our Ulverston Office, whilst the more social sessions are held at various locations in the community.

Our Drop-in groups provide a safe and non-judgmental space for people to access information, advice and support. Our volunteers support the work of our counsellors and support staff and are key to ensuring that people feel welcome and are given the opportunity to talk about their emotional state if they choose to. We may signpost a you to an outside agency or our counselling service if we feel that it is in your best interests.

Counselling is available on a one to one basis at our Ulverston Office without the need for a GP referral. We have a team of professional counsellors and a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist who volunteer their time and expertise. There is a small fee for this service.
Ex-forces personnel are always welcome to come in and seek advice or counselling. We do have plans to create a more specific service to cater for ex-services members of our community later in the year.
Information Services is available at our Ulverston Office. We can supply you with mental health books and leaflets, guidance and support as well as a listening ear. We also take this information along to community locations such as the library, health clinics, work places or community events.
Listening Ear is available for those who need someone to talk to but don’t necessarily have the need or maybe the time for scheduled counselling sessions. Listening Ear is available at our Ulverston Office.
Skilled Trades People are needed to offer us their skills and expertise with a few odd jobs that we need doing in the office. We don't need major work doing, the work is mainly simple upgrades and running repairs.
Allotment Drop-In is a Drop-In which allows people the opportunity to learn new skills, talk to understanding volunteers to discuss things which may be on their mind, or just to improve their wellbeing through excercise.
- This service has 1 weekly session and runs on Wednesday at 10:30AM
Connecting Mums sessions allow mums of all ages to support each other, gain confidence and improve their wellbeing through training, activities, day trips and play time with other mums and their toddlers and babies. We also offer home visits.
- This service has 7 weekly sessions and the next session is on Monday at 10:30AM
The Drop-In allows you to pop in for a brew and to socialise with other members of the community. We have volunteers and information available if you wish to also learn about the services and activities we offer.
- The following sessions are cancelled for this service: Monday at 11AM.
  
  There is 1 other weekly session that is running and it is on Friday at 11AM
Women's Group provides sessions for women to take time out for a chat and a relaxing brew in a friendly environment. You can socialise with others or learn about some of the work we do in the community.
- This service is currently cancelled due to the holidays but will return later in the year
