A local mental health charity has been selected to be involved in Tesco's 'Stronger Starts' scheme.

Pepper's- A Safe Place runs friendly and welcoming drop-in sessions and wellbeing activities for any adults who may be struggling with their Mental Health.

All adults are welcome to come and take a break, socialise, combat isolation, have fun and enjoy a cup of tea or coffee.

Now, the group has been selected to feature in Tesco's 'Stronger Starts' scheme that highlights local charities across the nation.

The £5 million scheme supports thousands of projects and good causes across the UK. It is open to all schools, registered charities and not-for-profit organisations, and Oakham's Tesco has featured a range of local organisations and charities.
