THE New Way Forward Group cooked up a storm in the sunshine at the Avenue Methodist Church in Sale.

The organisation holds regular drop-in sessions at the church for people who have encountered mental health issues.

It’s thought around one in four people will face a mental-health problem at some point in life, including worry, stress, fear, and depression.

New Way Forward services are free of charge and participants do not need to be referred.

The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming.

The group also offers training courses, supports women’s only and men’s only groups, and plans day trips.

Sports events are also held throughout the year.
