Today is often called Blue Monday, and is supposedly the most depressing day of the year. However, we know that mental health concerns can occur at any time of the year. Please check in with those around you, and don't be afraid to ask for support

I know… we say it every year but we just need to remind you that Blue Monday was in fact made up by a travel company to sell more holidays 🥲 Depression doesn’t care what day it is. If you’re feeling low, we’re here for you 💙

The chances are you have quoted a line or two belonging to his most famous creation, Winnie the Pooh, or have fallen in love with any one of his characters over the years. What a legacy he has left for us all

Pledge to make a difference this year by becoming a Dementia Friends

"Becoming a Dementia Friend wasn’t just about gaining knowledge; it was about becoming part of a movement that challenges stigma and promotes inclusivity for people with dementia. The more I learned, the more passionate I became about sharing this knowledge with others."

Grace shares her journey to becoming a Dementia Friend, and the impact it has had: http://spkl.io/6180AiCYi
