It has been an incredibly tough period for so many of us and it can often feel difficult to know how to cope or where to turn to. That\u2019s why, especially in times like these, having a trained professional on the other end of the phone who is there to listen and support you is so important.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bethany Biggar, Director, Edinburgh Food Project, said:<\/strong><br>\u2018We had to change our food bank centres to a delivery service due to COVID, and in doing so we took away a safe community space, where people could come have a cup of tea and unload. We know how important that space was for people, and so we wanted to give them the option to speak to someone on the phone while we\u2019re all apart. If they need to talk, or don\u2019t know who to turn to they can pick up the phone and Health in Mind will be there to listen and support them.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>If you have any questions or would like more information, please email Tom at&nbsp;tom.grayson@health-in-mind.org.uk.<br>The project is funded by the Scottish Government Inspiring Communities Fund.<\/p>\n<p class=\"btn--back\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New edinburgh food project helpline 17th July 2020 We are delighted to be working together with Health in Mind to provide a helpline to support people who have mental health difficulties during these challenging times.
