For the first time we are closing a session due to a shortage of volunteers. With holidays, family and work commitments we are short of volunteers to drive the van, prepare the food ready for the session and enough on the session for safeguarding.
PLEASE if you would like to volunteer Wednesdays 6-7pm or Saturdays 5-6pm we would love to hear from you. volunteer@newburysoupkitchen.org.uk

🌀 Your mental health deserves the same tenderness you give to everyone else.

💬 Start by noticing your inner dialogue.
Is it kind?
Or is it quietly tearing you down?

⛅ Interrupt the spirals.
Say no when you mean no.
Ask for help when you need it.

🌿 You’re allowed to take up space.
To rest.
To move.
To check in with your body like it’s an old friend.

Caring for your mental health isn’t selfish—it’s the blueprint for showing up in your life fully.

Visit https://cal.mn/mental-health for 6 ways to prioritize your mental health.
