A CONFERENCE is being held to explore the longer term impact of Covid on mental health.

Winsford mum-of-three Kate Blakemore, founder of the Motherwell charity which supports women, is hosting the online event.

"I am particularly interested in the impact on older people, new mums, teens and deprivation and the barriers to accessing mental health support."

Kate hopes the topics will inspire a lively conversation.
