The funding from the charitable arm of the supermarket has covered the costs of innovative 'Flow Neuroscience' headsets. The headsets are a specialist piece of equipment that applies a gentle electrical current to stimulate and restore activity to an area of the brain in people with depression and mental health conditions.
Maria Seginakova, Community Champion at the Morrisons supermarket in Glenfield, Leicester, presented the grant to the charity. Marie said: “I’m very proud to present this donation of £9,540 to Raising Health. The support and care they provide is vital for the mental health and wellbeing of so many people from all across our local community.”
Raising Health is the registered charity for Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust (LPT) which provides community health, mental health and learning disability services for the benefit of residents across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.
The charity’s mission is to support excellent care initiatives, equipment and innovations which go above and beyond core NHS provision to enhance the experience of our patients, service users and staff.
