A MENTAL health support group is looking for a new home, after it was asked to leave its current premises.

The group Greencare, which meets from 10am to 4pm every Thursday in a Mongolian yurt in the grounds of the Iver Environment Centre (IEC), in Slough Road, Iver Heath, said to end the service would be like ‘separating up a family’.

Sarah Tizzard, 47, of Dolphin Road, Slough, said: “We are a group of service users, along with a few members of staff who volunteer there. We can’t afford to go anywhere else. “. It’s been my therapy group for four and a half years. We’ve all become quite close friends. The therapy group is like a family. If this service goes, it will be a great loss to us.”

The therapy group grew crops together in one of the facility’s many allotments, however the Environment Centre wishes to clear that space for children and special needs clients.

The six members of the group have been part of the body for between six months to two and a half years.

Miss Tizzard said: “The environmental centre is being very nice to us. They’ve given us plenty of time. But we have to leave by May 31.”

Miss Tizzard has met the MP for Slough, Tan Dhesi, as part of her search for a new home for her group.

A spokesman for IEC said: “They have a yurt on site, which they have used free of charge for five to six years. We are developing that site for more education opportunities.”
