MindSpace cancels indoor events

In light of the latest medical advice relating to the Covid-19 outbreak, MindSpace trustees have reluctantly taken the decision to suspend all indoor events until further notice.

The global Covid-19 virus pandemic is placing lives at risk across the country and we all have a role to play in minimising the spread of the illness to protect the most vulnerable in our community and reduce the burden on the local healthcare services. The latest advice states that any non-essential face-to-face public gatherings should be cancelled until the outbreak subsides and we have made the difficult decision to suspend all MindSpace indoor events for the foreseeable future.

Dr Dan Petrie, founder of MindSpace says “This is not a decision that we have taken lightly, particularly as one of our core values relates to community and face-to-face contact. On balance, we believe that this is the kindest thing to do to support both our members, but the wider community, particularly those most vulnerable.”

Over the next week, MindSpace will be exploring options for offering alternative outdoor and online events to maintain a sense of community for existing members and those struggling with isolation. The details of these events will be published on their website and social media channels.
