Year 14 Trip to Mindwise

8th Feb 2017

Year 14 Health & Social Care pupils thoroughly enjoyed their recent visit to Mindwise, Downpatrick. Mindwise is a membership led charity that helps people with mental health problems. During their visit pupils had the opportunity to improve their communication skills as they talked and listened to people who benefited from the service. They were delighted to hear all the positive comments about the service and how it improves quality of life for many people.

Mindwise has moved to new premises since our last visit and it was lovely to see everyone enjoying the bright, airy space they now have. The visit has encouraged some of our pupils to organise a fundraising event in aid of Mindwise as they now fully appreciate that funding can pose a major issue for charities such as this one.
