Carlisle mental health charity given £15,000 to help with an increase in demand


A Cumbrian charity that helps people with their mental health is going to receive £15,000 from Carlisle City Council.

Councillor Lisa Brown proposed the idea, which will support Carlisle Eden Mind.

Councillor Brown, who was involved in setting up a community help group, had her own struggles last year after feeling overwhelmed.

The charity is experiencing a rising demand from people and hopes this funding will help it meet that challenge in the coming months.
