We all know taking steps to maintain and improve our mental wellbeing is important – particularly after a testing few years for us all! This World Mental Health Day, on Sunday 10th October, is the perfect opportunity to draw to your attention the mood-boosting opportunities readily available on our doorstep.
Cambridgeshire, Peterborough and South Lincolnshire (CPSL) Mind are shining a light on their Good Life Service which offers free and accessible community-based wellbeing support for adults across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. This includes Good Mood Cafes, Open Door calm spaces and Peer Support Groups which are also now available in six rural communities in the Peterborough area.
These services are face-to-face and includes opportunities to join sessions in Eye, Thorney, Whittlesey, Yaxley, Newborough and Wansford – helping to address the gap in mental health community resource in these rural areas of Peterborough.

You can now drop-in to Good Mood Cafes in these areas for an informal get-together with like-minded people within your community, sharing interests, skills and wellbeing tips. Alternatively, CPSL Mind’s Open Door calm spaces provide somewhere to go for those seeking some space and tranquillity, while Peer Support Groups offer a more structured opportunity to share lived experiences with others.
Jo Clarke, Community and Partnership Manager at CPSL Mind, commented “We are delighted to have expanded our Good Life Services in these communities and, by working in partnership with others, we are able to offer joined-up community based mental health support, reaching people that are not currently accessing services. Our team of Good Life facilitators deliver weekly Good Mood Cafes, Open Door calm spaces and fortnightly Peer Support Groups which are free and open to everyone”.
If you are looking to connect with local people or to learn self-help wellbeing techniques, you can join by coming along to a Good Mood Cafe or signing up to an Open Door calm space or Peer Support Group.
