Mental Health and Well-being Activities Programme 3
ENROLMENT GUIDELINES The activities programme is open access for people resident in the City of York, aged 18 and over, who have a mental health and well- being need, or are an unpaid carer where the activities attended support their well-being. To attend any of the activities or courses on offer, an enrolment form needs to be completed first. Once the enrolment form has been received, York Mind will contact the person named on the form to confirm if they have a place on their chosen activity. *We allocate places 3 weeks before the activity start date. Please do not attend or advise anyone to attend any activities before they have confirmation of a place, as many of the courses and groups have a limit on participants. Whilst participants may select more than one activity, they need to indicate which is their priority and first choice. This will help us manage demand if any activities are oversubscribed. If you have any questions, please contact us: activities@yorkmind.org.uk or 01904 643364 and select option 5. 4 Mental Health and Well-being Activities Programme
