Today we’re recognising International Men’s Day, a time to highlight men’s health, wellbeing, and the importance of seeking support when it’s needed.

Many health issues can be easier to treat when caught early — so this is your reminder to prioritise your health.

✔️ Book that check-up you’ve been putting off
✔️ Speak to someone if you’re feeling low or stressed
✔️ Make time for healthy habits and self-care
✔️ Recognise your worth

Let’s encourage the men in our lives to take care of themselves today and every day. 💙

This week, we’re prioritising self-care 💚

Self-care may look different for everyone, but we all deserve to prioritise our own health, especially during times of additional stress or anguish. Had a bad day? Find one daily task that can wait until later and instead spend that time doing something you enjoy such as taking a walk, sitting with a piping cup of tea or reading a chapter of your book. Your future self will thank you for it.

Disability affects more people than you might realise, with 93% not needing a wheelchair and 52.3% in employment.

A disability is any condition that effects your ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities and can be related to either your physical or mental health.

If you feel like you require additional support needs, please don’t hesitate to reach out to a health professional.

Did you know Type 1 Diabetes can affect children as well as adults?

There are approximately 33,000 children in the UK with diabetes and 135 locally, which is why we are sharing the pathway to a diagnosis for those concerned about their children. Early diagnosis is an important factor in reducing further risk down the line.
