What People are Saying About us
Here are some kind words of support left by a few of the many people who have been able to benefit from Herefordshire Mind!
“You guys, your love and support saved my life. It may only be one little life but it’s the only one I’ve got, so thank you, you precious souls.”Client
“The idea of moving out is understandably daunting for everyone, it’s such a massive step! Yet when you have mental health problems there’s an added layer of worries... Coming to Ferncroft has helped with this so much! You’re given the space to be as independent as you can be, but you know that there’s practical and emotional support and guidance available when you need it from people who genuinely care and understand.”Client
“I struggle with anxiety and the community support team help me to go out and get shopping and attend appointments etc and by doing this I have gained some confidence. I very recently started volunteering, which I would never have done without support. They are also there to help me when I get emotional and they know how to calm me down. Without their support I wouldn’t go out and wouldn’t look after myself.”Client
``Herefordshire Mind meets people where they are, without judgement, and with a commitment to understanding each person’s story. Their staff and volunteers reflect the diversity they champion. They listen, they adapt, and they work collaboratively with local communities to make sure support is culturally aware, trauma informed, and genuinely accessible. In a county where services can be sparse and stigma can run deep, Mind Herefordshire has become a lifeline, not just offering help, but restoring hope. Their impact is real, human, and lasting.``Client
“Herefordshire Mind has helped me rebuild my mental health, embrace my identity, and turn lived experience into something positive I can share with others.”Client
``Herefordshire Mind's work goes far beyond mental health support, they create a genuinely inclusive community where every person, regardless of background, identity, or circumstance, is treated with dignity and compassion. They provide accessible mental health services across Herefordshire, offering safe spaces, crisis support, advocacy, and practical help for people facing some of the toughest moments of their lives.``Client
“I just wanted to say thank you for everything. I have learnt so much working here, and while it has been stressful at times, I know it will serve me so well in the future. The biggest highlight was working for such a forward thinking, creative and kind charity”Staff
“Starting a new job is daunting. 'Will they be nice? Will they like me? Will I like them? Will I remember everything? Will I remember anything? Is this a big mistake?!'
So it was a happy moment when a resident remarked, 'I'm glad that you're here. You fit in very well. You're, sort of... homely!’”Staff
“Its that feeling that you get when something ‘comes together’ – the recent move I helped to orchestrate for a lady who had been at her wits end with noise nuisance from an upstairs neighbour and then meeting her in her new ‘exactly perfect’ bungalow that meets all of her physical health needs whilst protecting her mental health. These are the days that I feel like I have helped to make a difference.”Staff

Mental Health Awareness Week isn’t about fixing the whole system. We know awareness alone doesn’t solve underfunding, long waits, or inequalities in accessing services. No one is pretending a week of awareness can fix everything. But this week does matter. It’s about normalising conversations that are still hard to have. It’s about breaking stigma that stops people from asking for help. It’s about signposting to support, so people know they’re not alone and where they can turn. Change doesn’t start with solutions; it starts with awareness. Awareness leads to conversations. Conversations lead to people reaching out. Reaching out leads to action, support, and pressure for change. For many people, Mental Health Awareness Week is the first time they realise: ▪️What they’re experiencing has a name ▪️They’re not the only one ▪️Help exists before crisis And that’s a great starting point.
The day is almost upon us! Our incredible team of nearly 40 local people have been training and fundraising for months ready for their challenge this Sunday. They'll be hiking across narrow ridges and difficult terrain across the Black Mountains in aid of Herefordshire Mind. This isn't just a fundraising event but a chance to show that all sorts of people from all sorts of backgrounds can help to raise awareness of mental health difficulties. They'll be uniting together, walking as one amongst a beautiful Herefordshire backdrop, sharing stories and supporting each other along the way. Support them by visiting - https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/hfdmindchallenge2026?utm_medium=CA&utm_source=CL
Today our ArtSpace clients explored using press printing and created some beautiful pieces of art work together 🌸 Activities like press printing support emotional regulation, mindfulness, and self‑esteem. Every piece created today reflects not just creativity, but the resilience and strength of the people who made it.
