To mark World Mental Health Day last Friday, our team and the people we support at Milnshaw House came together for a Tea & Talk event, creating a safe, welcoming space to share conversations about mental health over coffee, cake, and plenty of biscuits 🍰🫖

Using resources from the Mental Health Foundation, the team helped make talking about mental health that bit easier, reminding everyone that opening up can make a real difference.

Milnshaw House also proudly took part in Lancashire Mind 's Wear it Blue Day, standing together to raise awareness and show support for mental health in our communities 💙

This week is OCD Awareness Week.

For many people, OCD is about living with intrusive thoughts and the anxiety that comes with them.

By raising awareness, we can challenge misconceptions, show compassion, and make it easier for people to seek the support they deserve.

👉 Join us in spreading awareness: share this post and help us open up the conversation.

Do you like to explore new cultures through food? Montgomery House do! 🇲🇽

The team and people we support recently hosted a Mexican-themed day as a vibrant celebration of flavour, culture, and connection.

The people we support enjoyed spending time with friends from Liberty House, sharing delicious food and great conversation. The day created opportunities for new friendships to grow between our services while introducing everyone to the tastes and traditions of Mexico.

What creative activities help you unwind and refocus?

At Olton Grange, one of the people we support has spent the past two weeks carefully placing each diamond in his art piece, finding calm and focus along the way.

He says it helps quiet life’s stresses as he concentrates on “ensuring every diamond is in its correct place.” The finished result is just as amazing as the journey.

Breakfast with friends is always a good idea, and this week, the people we support at Hyde Park House enjoyed a morning out at Toby Carvery for an all-you-can-eat breakfast - and it was a hit! 🥓☕

Everyone loved the food, the company, and the chance to socialise in a new setting. One person shared, “I enjoyed the staff and everyone’s company, and the food was good. It’s nice to get out to a new place.”

Moments like these remind us how meaningful shared experiences can be.

It’s World Mental Health Day, but it’s not just one day, it’s about all the moments in between.

Mental health is a unique experience. Some people cope quietly, some loudly. Some need space, some need company. Today, let’s honour the everyday efforts: reaching out, listening, showing up, and noticing when someone else might be struggling.

Who in your life has made your mental health journey a little easier? Tag them. Say thank you.

Our team at Radcliffe Lodge have given their PROUD postbox an autumnal makeover 🌰🍁

With support from Lisa, our fantastic Activities Champion, and one of the people we support, the new design was inspired by nature.

They enjoyed a walk to the local park to collect leaves and conkers - a great way to combine creativity with gentle exercise - before returning to paint and decorate their autumn-themed PROUD box. The finished design is perfect for the season!

Last month, Adamson House came together for a day of teamwork, fun, and a few chilly challenges all in support of Andys Man Club , a men’s mental health charity helping to prevent su***de and create safe spaces for men to talk.

From ice buckets and a Bush Tucker Trial to tombolas, raffles, and a bustling cake stall, the whole service played their part. The result? £450 raised, plenty of smiles, and vital conversations about why men’s mental health matters.
