Welcome to Love Me, Love My Mind.
We are a small, grassroots charity based in Epsom, Surrey, that was started to promote better understanding of mental health and to support the wellbeing of everyone in the local community. The charity runs a weekly drop in and Let’s Talk Epsom. It also organises the Epsom Mental Health and Well-Being Festival, an annual week-long event which brings people together, regardless of their background, to understand one another, to celebrate each of us, to learn and laugh and offer support and love.
We might not have the big budgets of some of the national charities, but what we lack in funds we make up for in passion. If you’d like to know more, come to an event or offer your help or support then do get in touch – we’d love to hear from you.
We are very conscious that 2020 was a time of great difficulty, worry, anxiety, loss, sadness and deep loneliness for many, many people. Our hearts are with you as we enter a New Year and a new Lockdown. Love Me Love My Mind remains open to everyone who would like to belong. The drop in continues to meet weekly via a newsletter and Let’s Talk Epsom via email.
Monday Drop-In
The Monday drop in last met together as a group on 16 March 2020. Since then, we have stayed in touch via a weekly newsletter which often contains an activity and always holds an edible treat.
During the year, the group has produced a book – Life in Lockdown – and a calendar for 2021. We are looking forward to the time when we shall be able to meet together. Until then, we are planning to create another book and the newsletters will continue. If you would like to receive a copy of the weekly newsletter, please ring 01372 721518, email info@lovemelovemymind.org.uk or write to Sue at LMLMM, St Barnabas Church, Temple Road, Epsom KT19 8HA.
You will be very welcome indeed.
Let’s Talk Epsom
We are now pleased to announce that our peer support session Let’s Talk Epsom will be meeting in person again following our hiatus in line with COVID-19 restrictions.
Starting from Wednesday 7th July, the sessions will be held at a new venue:
Epsom Methodist Church close to the town centre.
They will run every Wednesday from 7pm-9pm, and all are welcome to attend.
It has been a challenging year for us all in varying degrees, so we are keen to lend an ear again to support the difficulties that the pandemic and lockdowns have brought.
The sessions will adhere to medical guidelines for health and safety, so volunteers and attendees are required to wear facemasks indoors.
Please note that to comply with the Test and Trace Policy, we will be required to record names and contact details.
Please do not hesitate to contact the group for support or signposting to resources.
