Steph Thomas, Wellbeing Lead at Mind Monmouthshire, said: “Building connections with others is essential for reducing loneliness and enhancing emotional wellbeing. Here in Monmouthshire, we have a thriving range of community based services throughout the county providing welcoming, inclusive spaces where people can come together, share experiences, and create a strong sense of community and belonging.”

Mind Monmouthshire, part of Mind in Gwent, offers a wide range of mental health services for adults across the Monmouthshire area. This includes one-to-one support and counselling, benefits advice, housing support services, and support for farmers in the rural economy.

It also runs ‘Walk and Talk’ groups in Monmouth, Abergavenny and Chepstow, which you can book online. Monmouth and Chepstow groups take place every two weeks on a Tuesday at 10.30am, and the Abergavenny group is every Wednesday between 1pm and 2pm.
