Mind In Gwent is a new charity formed first of October 2023 by the merger of Newport Mind Association, Mind Monmouthshire and Torfaen and Blaenau Gwent Mind, three Mind federated charities with experience stretching back over 45 years of fighting for mental health and providing services to support people and communities with their mental health wellbeing and resilience.
Mind in Gwent is rooted in our local communities retaining the local names, a local presence and local services with an ambition to deliver more for people with mental health and wellbeing problems and for our communities. Mind in Gwent has begun to create synergies through the merger and with our deep understanding of delivering locally we are now looking to innovate, influence and deliver to regional needs and opportunities.
We are building on the strengths of the constituent parts and moving forwards as an organisation that is inclusive, person centred and where we each embrace diversity because recognising different perspectives enables us to listen well, to truly understand need, to shape great practise and consequently make a difference to lives.
