This week is Mental Health Awareness Week - The 2026 theme is "Action", focusing on moving beyond awareness to taking practical, daily steps to support mental health. Action: for yourself, for someone else, for all of us.

Here are Eight actions to improve mental health in the long term:

1. PRIORITISE YOUR HEALTH Being physically active, sticking to a healthy, balanced diet, and getting enough sleep.

2. CONNECT WITH OTHERS Regularly spending time with friends, family and loved ones is great for preventative mental health care. Staying socially connected can help you feel less lonely.

3. BE PRESENT Paying attention to the present moment, sometimes known as ‘being mindful’, can boost your wellbeing and help you see things from new perspectives

4. LEARN A NEW SKILL If you’re looking for ways to boost your self-esteem, build a sense of purpose, and connect with others, learning a new skill can help. You could try cooking a new recipe, working on a DIY project, or picking up a hobby that challenges you, like learning to paint.

5. LEARN TO UNDERSTAND AND MANAGE YOUR EMOTIONS Feeling very upset makes it difficult to think clearly, make healthy decisions or relate to others. Paying attention to our feelings and reflecting on what caused them, without judgement, can help us understand and manage them better.

6. SET BOUNDARIES: Setting boundaries doesn’t always feel easy or comfortable at first, but it can help reduce stress, prevent burnout, build self-esteem, and improve relationships overall. Think about what your personal limits and values are and let these guide you when setting new boundaries.

7.PRIORITISE SLEEP Good quality sleep is fundamental to emotional and cognitive wellbeing. Disrupted or insufficient sleep can increase our vulnerability to stress, anxiety and depression.

8. SEEK PROFESSIONAL SUPPORT If life feels overwhelming, asking for professional support may help.

Make May Purple for Stroke Awareness month

Stroke Awareness Month takes place every May to raise awareness of the devastating impact of stroke. It also highlights the importance of providing vital support for stroke survivors and those who care for them.

What is a stroke?

A stroke happens when the blood supply to part of the brain is cut off, killing brain cells. Damage to the brain can affect how the body works. It can also change how you think and feel. The effects of a stroke depend on where it takes place in the brain, and how big the damaged area is. Strokes can be life changing. It can happen to anyone of any age and affects everyone in different ways.

Act FAST

●Face weakness: Can the person smile? Has their mouth or eye drooped?
●Arm weakness: Can the person raise both arms fully and keep them there?
●Speech problems: Can the person speak clearly and understand what you say? Is their speech slurred?
●Time to call 999: if you see any one of these signs.

⚠️⚠️ Remember: Face or Arm or Speech, at the first sign, it’s Time to call 999 ⚠️⚠️

Allergy Awareness Week 2026- 20–26 April 2026

Allergy affects millions of people across the UK. Despite this, many still struggle to recognise the symptoms or access the support they need. As a result, many people live with allergy symptoms for years without understanding what is causing them or how to manage them safely.

What is an allergy❓️

An allergy is the response of the body’s immune system to normally harmless substances, such as pollens, foods, and house dust mite. Whilst in most people these substances (allergens) pose no problem, in allergic individuals their immune system identifies them as a ‘threat’ and produces an inappropriate response. This can be relatively minor, such as localised itching, but in more severe cases it cause anaphylaxis, a condition which can lead to upper respiratory obstruction and collapse and can be fatal.

The most common causes of allergic reactions are:
• Pollen
• house dust mites
• Moulds
• Foods
• Pets
• Insects
• Medicines

MS Awareness Week 2026 in the UK runs from 20–26 April 2026,

This MS Awareness Week, the focus this year is on challenging the assumptions surrounding multiple sclerosis and highlighting the harm these misconceptions can cause for people living with the condition. To better understand the real experiences behind these assumptions, we surveyed the MS community, gathering insights that have helped shape and strengthen this campaign.

Facts about MS

• MS is a condition that affects the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord).
• It's estimated that more than 150,000 people in the UK have MS.
• Every week around 135 more people are diagnosed.
• It's nearly three times more common in women than in men.
• Most people are diagnosed in their 30s and 40s but it can be diagnosed in younger and older people.
• MS isn't infectious or contagious so you can't catch it or pass it on to other people.
• MS is the most common condition of the central nervous system affecting young adults.
• MS is a lifelong condition, but it is not a terminal illness.
• Everyone's MS is different so no two people will have the same range and severity of symptoms, even if they are closely related.
• MS is more common in countries further north or south from the equator, but your risk of getting MS is based on where you grow up, not your ethnicity.
• MS is not inherited, but family members do have a slightly higher risk of developing MS.
