The Watton branch of the charity will aim to raise £6,000.

The charity hosts weekly meetings in the community, laying out a range of activities and offering support for those facing mental health challenges.

Ms Webb, said: "The Watton branch of Norfolk Clubhouse serves as a lifeline for individuals in a location where mental health provisions are very limited.

"Our small but dedicated team provides essential support, enabling Clubhouse members to overcome life’s challenges and regain a sense of purpose and wellbeing.

“We may not be a large charity, but we hope that people in the area will appreciate the value in what we do and consider donating something - however big or small - to help keep the Watton Hub running in these difficult times."

The funds from this campaign will be used to cover part-time support worker costs and also the cost of renting the venue for the next year.

Achieving the £6,000 target is crucial to the charity's Watton operations ensuring that Norfolk Clubhouse can continue to make a positive impact on the lives of those in need.
