Do you have something to share?

As part of the re-shape of our area forums we are offering the opportunity for your council to lead on an agenda item - a topic of your choosing.

To find out more BOOK A MEETING with our CEO for an informal chat using this link.

The Well Minds East Suffolk booklet has been developed by East Suffolk Council and is funded by the East Suffolk Community Partnership Board. Click on this link to download the booklet.
The aim is to provide a range of information and advice about mental health and wellbeing, useful contacts and ways to find out more. Hopefully, it will help you to help your friends, family and community. Hard copies will be available in a range of community locations across East Suffolk, but to request a hard copy/copies, please email communities@eastsuffolk.gov.uk.
