Depression-hit mum setting up support in Accrington

I like good news, happy news and inspiring news. Especially if its about single mums. So to kick the new section of we have an inspiring bit of news.

On Monday 10th May, Lancashire Telegraph reported on how a single mum who had been battling depression is to set up a charity to help support struggling families.

Elaine, a self-employed holistic and beauty therapist, said she wants the group to be a network of families supporting families, rather than specialists and experts offering advice.

And she said that the vital part of her group will be that no-one will be turned away.

She said: “There are quite a few support oraganisations out there but for almost all of them you must meet strict criteria for help.

“I am setting up a network of people who can offer help because of their life experience.”
