Carlisle Eden Mind has transferred its support services to a neighbouring Mind charity as it prepares to close.

Tyneside and Northumberland Mind has from this month begun running Carlisle Eden Mind’s The Lighthouse, You In Mind and Mindline services.

“We’re incredibly grateful to be trusted to move forward with these fantastic, much needed projects, and are extremely excited to welcome the teams who support these projects in Carlisle and Eden,” said Tyneside and Northumberland Mind.

“Our priority is to make this transition as smooth as possible”, it assured service users as it pledged that there will be “as little disruption as possible” to support.

Carlisle Eden Mind said that its priority as it closes is to ensure a smooth transition and for people to continue accessing support “in the same way”.

“We understand that hearing about organisational changes can feel unsettling,” it told its users.

“We want to reassure you that supporting the people who use our services is at the heart of every decision being made.”
