Who are we?
Mind and Sole is a multi-award winning, unique and inspirational charity which provides support
for people in Alnwick and the surrounding towns and villages. Entirely volunteer led and run, our
aim is to encourage people to improve their physical and mental health and wellbeing and to build
their confidence.
We offer a wide range of activities both within the Mind and Sole Hub, at Bondgate Within in Alnwick or via our Walking and Talking and Mind dippers cold water dipping group.
All Mind and Sole activities are focused on encouraging people to become more active in
their daily lives, get involved in new activities, meet new people and have new experiences in order to support them with their mental health and wellbeing.
There is a session for everybody whether it be walking or crafts, reading or knitting. There is a group for you.
Not to mention the support groups we have at the hub which are peer to peer led.
Mind and sole support the community in various different ways, we offer 1-2-1 support with our buddy system, free counselling, friendly peer to peer support in our support groups or just a safe place to come too.
We understand that seeking help can be challenging, but we are here to listen and provide you with the resources you need to overcome any obstacles you may be facing.
Our aim is to support everyone in need of general support with daily tasks, referrals and appointment support or help if you or someone around you is in crisis.
