MENTAL health support is available at a mobile wellbeing hub coming to Leamington.
It is thanks to a new partnership between Warwick District Council’s Community Safety Team and SOS Silence of Suicide.
The charity is setting up the mobile wellbeing hub outside the council’s Safe Space at South Lodge from where they will provide a warm and welcoming space where anyone can stop by for a chat, learn more about what SOS does, or simply share what’s on their mind.
Yvette Greenway, CEO of SOS Silence of Suicide, said: “Our mission is to break down the barriers of stigma, silence, and shame around mental health and suicide. This partnership with Warwick District Council is about creating a space where people feel safe to open up and connect. Nobody should feel like they have to carry their burden alone. Together, we can build a stronger, more compassionate community.
“For us at SOS, this is more than just an initiative – it’s a chance to make a real difference. We’ve always been committed to promoting open, honest conversations about mental health, and we’re thrilled to work alongside Warwick District Council to make our community a place where everyone feels valued and supported.
“We’d love to see you at our wellbeing hub. Whether you’re looking for support, curious about what we do, or just need someone to talk to, we’re here for you.”
WDC’s community spokesperson Coun Jim Sinnott added: “The winter period can be a challenging time for many, I am therefore extremely proud that we have been able to work together with SOS to facilitate a safe and welcoming location where anyone can go to for help and advice or simply to be listened to.
“Through this partnership we also hope to raise awareness of the local support and resources available for those suffering from mental health issues or directly impacted by the loss of someone to suicide.”
The SOS Mobile Hub will be open outside the Safe Space from 9am to 1pm every Friday from January 17 to February 28.
