A MENTAL health charity is using the internet to reach more people.

The Redcar and Cleveland base for Mind is preparing to launch its own web site using artwork, music and video clips.

Funded by Skelton and Brotton Parish Council, the web site will keep people up to date with mental health services in the area.

Web site co-ordinator Nick Murray said: "It has taken a lot of hard work and commitment, but we hope people are happy with the result."

BBC Radio Cleveland presenter Stewart McFarlane will launch the site from the charity's centre in Diamond Street, Saltburn, on Thursday. It will be available online at www.randcmind.org
