Mental health funding boost

Mountain Scene By TRACEY ROXBURGH A new Queenstown charitable trust with a focus on mental health has received a $40,000 funding boost from Central Lakes Trust. The Southern Wellbeing Trust was co-founded in September by local GP Tim Rigg and health communications specialist Anna Dorsey after they saw the pressures Covid was putting on local health and social services. ‘‘We could see first-hand how big a challenge this was going to be for our communities,’’ Dorsey says. ‘‘Not just the risk to our physical health but the far-reaching and ongoing threat to people’s mental health and wellbeing.’’ Trustees are Dorsey, Rigg and Queenstown Medical Centre boss Ashley Light, who have since worked with a team of volunteers to develop new strategies to help prevent mental illness and promote good health across the district, collaborating with local agencies, the community and providers.
