New evening mental health support line launches for Bath and North East Somerset

Bath Mind has announced the launch of Bath Mindline, a new evening mental health support phone line that offers free telephone-based support and crisis assistance every Monday to Friday, from 5pm to 9pm. 

This vital new service is available to anyone living in Bath and North East Somerset who needs a listening ear or mental health support. 

 It has been made possible thanks to the support of Community Matters (Chelsea Road, Bath) which selected Bath Mind as Charity of the Year in 2024, along with generous community donations and the support of those who use Bath Mind’s services. 

Community fundraising is vital to Bath Mind, which is an independent charity with its own governance. While affiliated with the national Mind charity, Bath Mind is entirely responsible for generating its own income, making community support crucial to sustaining and expanding its services.

Kate Morton, Chief Executive Officer, Bath Mind, said, “We are delighted to be able to offer a local and timely phone-based support and crisis service in direct response to the needs and wishes of the people of Bath and North East Somerset – especially at a time when mental health challenges are on the rise.”

If you, or someone you know needs support, call Bath Mindline on 0808 175 1369 (Freephone) and press option 2 to access the service.
