Meet our 25/26 Young Women in Sport Leadership cohort! 💪

Delivered with Scottish Women in Sport, the programme helps women break into the sporting industry in Scotland, build leadership skills, and develop their mental health knowledge.

Our newest cohort came together to connect, meet their mentors and mentees, and kick off their journey. The day was full of energy, learning and inspiring conversations with incredible young women from across Scotland.

We’re grateful to be funded by the Scottish Government, whose support has allowed us to deliver this programme for the past three years. By young women, for young women.

A Will isn’t just for the wealthy - it’s for anyone who wants to protect the people and things that matter most.

We might believe we don't own enough to justify making a Will, but there’s so much more to it than money. A Will lets you decide who cares for your children and pets, and who inherits the things that matter most to you - including things with sentimental value.

This November, take the opportunity to make your Will for free with our partners at Lindsays. All they ask is a donation to SAMH, helping us support mental health across Scotland.

It's been a busy spell for our team at The Hive, with Sue Webber MSP and Daniel Johnson MSP visiting in recent weeks!

The Hive is an activity centre and coffee bar for in-patients of the Royal Edinburgh Hospital, providing a comfortable place to hang out, be creative and make connections.

"Whilst there you do not feel like a patient, instead it prompts the mind to work in exciting and creative ways." - Finlay, who was supported by The Hive.

Huge congratulations to all our alumni from The Changing Room, who gathered at Tynecastle Park to celebrate changing, and saving, lives.

Thanks to our long-term partnership with Movember UK this 12-week programme has been supporting men to manage their mental health since 2018.

If you're taking part this Movember, you'll be helping us continue to promote men’s mental health and wellbeing through the power of the beautiful game.

Our thanks also to Big Hearts Community Trust for hosting, partners The SPFL Trust, funders The Scottish Government and to Stewart Investors, who sponsored our event.

Life moves fast! But a Will can help you keep on top of it all.

While there's never an ideal time to write a Will, this month could be the perfect opportunity.

Throughout November, you can make yours free of charge with Lindsays. Instead of paying a fee, you're simply asked to make a donation to SAMH.

So if you want to protect what matters most, whilst supporting mental health in Scotland, then speak to a solicitor at Lindsays today.
