A NEW group is being set up in Presteigne to help people with mental health problems.

The group will be affiliated to Rethink, a national mental health charity that helps people with severe mental illnesses to recover. Meetings are held on the first Monday of the month in Presteigne Assembly Rooms at 7.30pm and are a mixture of talks by professionals and an informal sharing of experiences.

The group also plans to gather information on how the mental health systems work on both sides of the border.

Anyone interested in attending can get more information on 07939 032753. For more information on Rethink, call 0845 456 0455 or visit rethink.org
