It’s ok not to be ok.

We all go through ups and downs in life. Stress, anxiety and depression are common. At any one time, 1 in 6 adults suffer from poor mental health.

At St. George’s we have a pastoral care team available to support and walk alongside us by listening and prayer. Our Vicar, Jennifer Wickham, is a Mental Health First Aider. If you would like to talk with someone, please get in touch by calling 02476 591 994 or emailing [email protected]

There are a number of other ways to access help. The Samaritans are available 24 hours a day to listen. If you have a smart phone you can download an app called Hub of Hope - it has a variety of sites and numbers for professional help and people to speak with including a live chat line.

Childline 0800 1111
