Bognor man Joee Nash, who has himself suffered depression, recently launched the women’s social group at TAO bar, having already set up a similar club for men also affected by mental health.

Joee said: “I run these groups and campaigns through my mental health support and awareness Facebook page Guardian Angel.
“Like the men’s social group, this ladies’ night is specifically aimed at people battling depression, anxiety and loneliness.
“Its sole purpose is to help people through their battles, bring people together within their communities and it gives people the chance to meet new people too.”

“It’s been a success in my eyes and to the many that follow me.
“In total I’ve had about 15-20 different guys come and I have about six regulars.
“The ladies’ night launched last Wednesday and we had about 12 ladies turn up.”
