wHo WE ARE
The group was set up in January 2026, and is led by a group of Shepshed volunteers, supported by the NHS. We have a range of specialisms and qualifications in mental health and wellbeing. We started the group from a passion to help and support those who have their own mental health challenges and/or wish to improve their wellbeing and resilience.
