🐾 It’s National Dog Day! 🐶💙
Dogs aren’t just loyal companions—they’re also amazing for our mental health. From lowering stress and anxiety to encouraging exercise and boosting connection, our four-legged friends bring comfort and joy when we need it most.

Today, we celebrate the unconditional love and the numerous benefits that dogs bring us every day. 🐕✨

Here's one from our very own IT and Office Admin:

'I adopted my French Bulldog, Wilbur, as an emotional support animal.
Since then, he has been with me through many ups and downs. He has become my little shadow, always begging for treats and attention, snoring the house down, and keeping me afloat when the world gets a little too much.'

🚨 51km. 2,000m of elevation. One huge challenge. 🚨

Tomorrow (9th August), Reece is taking on an ultra-marathon in the Brecon Beacons!

It’s going to be brutal. Still, he's running it to raise funds for Bristol Mind, your local mental health charity in your community.

We offer low-cost counselling, confidential helplines, and specialist support for refugees and asylum seekers, making sure no one in Bristol faces mental health struggles alone.

💙 How you can help:

Donate – every pound goes directly to supporting Bristol Mind and Mental Health support.

Share – spread the word so more people can make a difference.

Cheer Reece on – training for 51km is no small feat!

Let’s smash this target and help Bristol Mind keep changing lives. 💪

About us...

Bristol Mind was originally founded in 1965 and is now a registered charity and a limited company. We are a Local Mind Association (LMA) affiliated to National Mind though independent of it i.e. we receive no direct funding from National Mind and make our own decisions about the services we offer. As a registered charity we are managed by a group of trustees who volunteer their time to oversee and support the work of the organisation. We recognise that each individual is a resource for their own recovery. Many of our workers, volunteers and trustees have themselves experienced the impact of emotional and mental distress.

Our aims:


  • To be a resource for all people in Bristol who identify themselves as having mental health or emotional support needs, and those who support them

  • To promote emotional and mental wellbeing through delivering high quality services in partnership with others where we can
