Thursday at One – an example of a faith based support service
Rev Phil Winn, Chair of the Network and Chaplain at Stepping Hill Hospital.

Before becoming hospital chaplain, Phil was the minister at Stockport Baptist Church when they set up ‘Thursday at One’ with the support of Stockport MIND.  The group is open to anyone suffering from mental distress.  People attending can learn to use different art techniques and produce very creative work, some of which is on display at the church.   The use of art is a very positive way to support people through times of mental distress and recovery.  The group is supported by volunteers from the church and from MIND.
