A mental health unit offering support for working-age adults has opened in Lincolnshire.

The 19-bed mixed-gender unit, called Havenside, would replace an existing ward at Pilgrim Hospital in Boston, Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust said.

The purpose-built facility has been designed to create a calm, safe and therapeutic environment, the trust added.

Trust chairman Kevin Lockyer said the space would “help people feel safe, supported and respected when they need it most”.
