💜 Neil’s Hugs Foundation 🌟

We’re proud to be connected with Neil’s Hugs Foundation, a charity supporting people in West Lothian and beyond who have been affected by attempted or completed suicide, or who are struggling with their mental health. 💜

Their mission is to:

  • Support those coping with suicide loss or attempts
  • Offer help for mild to moderate mental ill health
  • Reduce isolation and stigma
  • Provide a safe, confidential space to talk
  • Raise awareness and signpost to other support when needed
