News in Seaton

One in four of us experience a mental health problem in any one year and the additional challenges of the past 18 months have placed further pressure on our personal wellbeing.

But more and more of us are now talking openly about mental health and wellbeing, thanks in part to campaigns and events such as World Mental Health Day, held back in October.

Seaton Nub News aims to support our community, promoting shops, businesses, charities, clubs and sports groups. We will be profiling some of these businesses and organisations regularly in a feature called 'Up Close'.

This week, we're chatting with Mark Jackson, who has worked as store manager of Seaton's Underfleet Co-op store for the past two years.

Co-op shoppers can now benefit from a new Membership app that saves them money whilst supporting excellent causes in and around Seaton.

As well as benefiting from special offers and discounts, becoming a Co-op Member allows customers to give something back to their local community.

A local organisation tackling loneliness and isolation among men is hoping to reach out to more of the community, thanks to generous funding raised by Co-op Members.

Overall, 4,500 local causes have received a share of £15 million from Co-op's Local Community Fund. Beer Men's Shed was selected as one of Seaton's local causes last year.

The importance of local communities supporting local causes in the borough has been highlighted by Chris Pickles and Beer Men's Shed.

Beer Men's Shed is a local cause that is receiving much needed funds from the Co-op's Local Community Fund, thanks to Co-op Members.
