| Recipient Org: Description | South Somerset Mind (SSM) is a local charity that has been operating for 30 years across South Somerset and the Mendips, reaching to Frome. As a small charity with limited funds, we require assistance to enable us to continue providing much needed support to young people and adults and to raise awareness of mental illness to the wider public and businesses. In the last 12 months, as an organisation we have provided valuable support to over 1,083 individuals in our area experiencing poor mental health. The statistics state 1 in 4 people will experience a mental health problem in any one year and the World Health Organisation anticipate depression will be the second most common cause of ill health after heart disease by 2020. We know in reality that every person will be affected by poor mental health directly or indirectly (through family members/loved ones/colleagues) at some point in their lives, and even daily thoughts and emotions can change perceptions. We have been providing support to people with a range of emotional, social and physical health problems in the local area since 1985 as well as helping those who are directly and indirectly affected by someone’s mental health issues such as carers, families etc. We endeavour to help people before their condition becomes serious by training and education, support and advice, teaching a healthy lifestyle etc. However, the majority of the work is provided for people who have multiple health problems, which include mental health impairments. These people find it hard to integrate into “normal” life: problems with work and being able to hold down a job (because of lack of understanding in the workplace), are marginalised because of their condition and feel isolated from all areas of the community. We aim to help these people through one to one support, drop-in centres, therapies, including horticultural therapy, training in the workplace and making the public aware of mental health problems and how those with problems can be helped. |
