Alison Tanner is a Bath Mind volunteer who organises a weekly gardening group in the city.

She encouraged people feeling “overwhelmed” to try and get out into nature.

“It takes a bit of effort to get out there and get your warm clothes on, but once you’ve done it, you feel so much better for it and a bit of a warm glow whatever the weather,” she said.

“A lot of people just need some human contact.”

Lizzie Townson, from Bath Mind said: “We want everyone in our community to know that support is here, and it’s okay to pause when things feel overwhelming.”
