About Bath Mind
Bath Mind are a local and independent mental health charity working across Bath & North East Somerset.

While we are affiliated to the national Mind charity, we receive no direct funding from the national charity and work independently to develop our own services that suit local needs.

Established in 1998 by a group of people with lived experience of mental illness, we work tirelessly to provide support, information, advice, and activities for individuals in our community.

We are in contact with thousands of individuals annually to support them with a greater understanding of their mental health, focusing both on preventing mental ill health and improving mental wellbeing.

About Access Community Mental Health Service

The Access Community Mental Health Service is part of a system-wide transformation which will redesign how community mental health services are delivered and experienced, placing communities and individuals at the heart of what we do and how we do it.

The Access Community Mental Health service sits alongside and compliments those services provided by primary and secondary care.

This is all about GP surgeries, hospitals and the third sector working together so anybody who needs a service sees the right person at the right time, through a single point of entry.

Together, we are making sure we are walking alongside people who need support every step of the way, making sure they are ok, making sure they are accessing relevant support and then thinking about their next steps.

This delivers against the NHS's vision for mental health care and support through more local, community mental health services and how community services should offer whole-person, whole-population health approaches.

Our Vision is to create services where people are recognised, valued, and supported. The same is true of our workplaces. We pride ourselves on our welcoming, inclusive, and safe spaces to work.
