The Salford and Bolton Advocacy services are still running but slightly differently. As we are currently not undertaking home visits all referrals are assessed by the service manager and then allocated to an advocate who will ring the referrer/client to offer support. We are currently still attending Salford Royal & Meadowbrook, when it is deemed essential. We have been advised not to visit Woodlands or the Care Homes in order to keep vulnerable clients safe. However, we have been having Skype and telephone consultations where appropriate.

The Secure Advocacy Team with clients on GMMH's Prestwich Site are now all working remotely. They are still accessible via their usual office phone numbers and continue to support clients via telephone and email. Video conferencing facilities at the hospital are being upgraded and the team will make full use of these for appointments with clients and key meetings. Please contact Robin, the Advocacy Service Manager, for further info: 0161 358 2570.

We have currently closed all face to face Advice services to the public, however we are still able to provide telephone and email advice to our clients. If you need any advice regarding your benefits or debts, please contact us on 0161 710 1070 or email us at advice@mindinsalford.org.uk

We have launched an Online Support Resources page to provide free mindfulness practices and mental health information and advice during this difficult time. To learn more and browse these resources, please click here.
