The Norwich Mind helpline was set up 12 months ago to relieve the pressure on over-stretched mental health crisis teams. Initially set up as a pilot and funded by Norfolk's Clinical Commissioning Groups, it nearly closed in 2015 when the CCGs funding ran out. The Norfolk and Suffolk Foundation Trust stepped in and agreed to provide cash to keep it going until March 31, 2016. That money is soon coming to an end and neither the CCGs or the trust is willing to continue to provide funding. This is despite the fact that it takes 800 calls a month at times when no other services are available. Users say it has saved their lives on many occasions. It would take just £10,000 a month to keep this vital service going and the Eastern Daily Press and Norwich Evening News is launching a campaign to try and save it.  More about the service can be found here http://www.edp24.co.uk/news/health/norfolk_mental_health_support_line_which_gets_1_000_calls_a_month_told_funding_will_stop_1_4420363 Please sign the petition and tweet your support using #WeMind  WHY I SET UP THE PETITION: The service means everything to me. Without it, I don’t think I could go on as they have been my saviours many times over the last year. There is nothing else open to mental health sufferers at the best of times and certainly not out of hours. There will be more suicides without the Mind phone service, it has proved itself over and over again. Health bosses need to find this money straight away.
