About Mind in Gwent
We are Mind in Gwent, a local mental health charity with over 40 years of experience supporting communities across Gwent.
Mind in Gwent was formed in 2023 through the merger of three established charities, Monmouthshire Mind, Newport Mind, and Torfaen & Blaenau Gwent Mind.
By uniting our efforts, we continue to provide essential support to the diverse communities we serve, drawing on our collective knowledge and deep understanding of local needs.
We won’t give up until everyone experiencing a mental health problem gets both support and respect.
