Watch this space because we are launching a new Good Mood Cafe in South Lincolnshire. Working in partnership with local charity Boxes of Hope, the Holbeach Good Mood Cafe will connect individuals in the community and provide valuable mental health support.

Our Good Mood Cafes create an opportunity to meet new people to share interests, skills, and wellbeing tips in an informal space to help boost mood.

We are working in partnership with the NHS to provide a Night Light Cafe in Long Sutton. This initiative provides a local, safe space for anyone experiencing mental health crisis, providing a listening ear during the evening.

The Night Light Cafe is held on Wednesday and Thursday evenings 6pm – 10pm in the welcome area at St Mary’s Church Hall.

Boston has experienced significant immigration particularly from European countries, this has raised the importance for the Boston Primary Care Network to understand and address local health inequalities that exist identifying; the specific challenges people are experiencing with their mental and physical health, the barriers to accessing health and social care support, how they need to develop services that are more responsive for this population.

To address health inequalities a CPSL Mind Project Lead and team of Peer Designers have worked alongside organisations and services in Boston to produce eight key recommendations included in a Final Report which explored the following:

• Individuals understanding of accessing services & support
• Current community assets
• Issues/barriers to accessing support
• Gaps in service/support provision
