About Us

Newport Mind is a mental health organisation based in the city of Newport (Casnewydd) in South Wales, UK. We are part of Mind in Gwent and Local Mind Associations in England and Wales.

Mind in Gwent is a mental health charity that was formed by the joining together of three local and independent Mind associations,  Newport Mind, Monmouthshire Mind and Torfaen and Blaenau Gwent Mind.

Together as one charity, we are using our shared experience and knowledge to help people in our diverse communities with their mental health struggles. 

We provide a wide range of support and services working with diverse communities across Gwent to help reach those in our communities in need of support. Our services include Wellbeing and Counselling services for adults, Children and Young People’s services (including group and one on one support in and outside of schools), Housing, Tenancy and Supported Living services, warm hubs and rural working/farmers’ support.
