The following is a list of useful helplines and charitable organisations set up to support people with a wide range of issues from mental health to drug and alcohol struggles, domestic abuse and more.
With the UK heading into a second national lockdown, this time with the added challenges to our mental and physical well-being posed by the short days and increased darkness of winter, felt it important to put this list together for clients, friends, or anyone who needs additional support during this challenging time.
