A Pembrokeshire-based mental health organisation which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year, is putting the finishing touches to its new premises in Tenby.

Get the Boys A Lift (GTBAL) - a not-for-profit Community Interest Company (CIC) - was established by a group of friends back in 2016, to provide free and easily accessible mental health support for people across the community.

GTBAL runs a clothing and coffee store on Haverfordwest’s Bridge Street, where you can chat to counsellors and make new mates, with the service available by popping into the store or contacting the CIC through its website.

Now, GTBAL are preparing to open its new premises on Tenby’s Upper Frog Street, which will be located in the building the Paul Sartori Foundation charity previously occupied.

GTBAL shared on social media: “While many of you won’t have seen some of us recently, rest assured, we’re working hard to create another space for the community!

“We’re getting ever closer to finishing up in Tenby! “We’ve been chipping away, building up and finishing off some real big jobs down in Tenby, hoping to bring you another space which matches the vibe and the atmosphere of our Haverfordwest home.

“Keep your eyes peeled for more information.”

GTBAL offers offers a mixture of in-person and online counselling services for anyone over the age of 17; with all services free and accessible.

It’s aims are as follows:

  • To provide a welcoming and safe environment
  • To break the stigma of mental health
  • To be sustainable in many aspects of the business
  • To provide a quality service through coffee, counselling and outreach

Money raised through the sale of coffee and clothing helps to fund GTBAL’s counselling services.
