Eight Bells for Mental Health was the charity chosen by our past President Pam Freeman to support during her year of office. Kathryn Dundas gave us a presentation on the work and support that they are able to give. It is an independent charity offering support, advice and friendship to anyone affected by mental health issues. They run a drop-in-centre in a safe and welcoming environment close to Newbury Town Centre. Confidential referrals and advice for members to get expert support and counselling is available. Members are involved in the running of the charity which includes many activities and fund raising events. We supported them by fundraising for the charity during the year.
