Grant allows mental health charity to train more peer mentors

A grant from the Manx Lottery Trust means a local mental health charity can provide more peer mentor training and support.

Quing - founded in 2017 is made up of individuals who have overcome significant personal challenges in their lives.

They then support people who are currently suffering with issues such as addiction, poor mental health and the challenges associated with past criminality.

It does this through its drop-in Discovery Centre, counselling and therapeutic services, peer mentoring and events.

The Manx Lottery Trust grant of £10,500 will mean more people can take part in the induction programme.
