About Us:

Motivated Minds provides a much needed service in the community, we bring people together, nurture their mental health and support their complete wellbeing. However, we are in need of financial support as we have a high demand for our services. We are proud to have never turned anyone away or stopped a community programme when funding has ended. We also run the HAPPY Hub, in Eastgate Shopping Centre, which is open 7 days a week a provides a much needed space for people to come and seek mental health support.
