💙 International Stress Awareness Week 2025 💙

🗓️ Monday 3rd – Friday 7th November
🌍 Theme: “Optimising Employee Wellbeing through Strategic Stress Management”

This week, we’re joining the conversation on stress, wellbeing, and mental health — key parts of overall health that are often overlooked.

At The Mary How Trust, we believe that caring for your mental wellbeing is just as important as looking after your physical health. Managing stress effectively can lower your risk of conditions such as heart disease and high blood pressure, and help you feel your best every day.

Let’s use this week to reflect, recharge, and prioritise wellbeing — in the workplace and beyond. 💪

The Mary How Trust offers health screenings to individuals over 18, to spot the early signs of cancer and other life-threatening illnesses.

💙 November is National Diabetes Awareness Month 💙

At The Mary How Trust, we’re shining a light on diabetes — a condition that affects millions, often without clear early symptoms.

🩺 What is diabetes?
Diabetes occurs when the body can’t properly regulate blood sugar (glucose) levels. Over time, this can affect your heart, kidneys, eyes, and nerves — but with early detection and healthy lifestyle choices, it can be managed and even prevented.

✅ Know your risk.
Our health screenings include checks that can detect early warning signs of diabetes, helping you take action sooner for better long-term health.

Together, we can raise awareness, encourage prevention, and support healthier futures. 💪

🦴 World Osteoporosis Day – October 20

Osteoporosis is a disease that weakens bones, making them fragile and more likely to fracture.
It affects over 200 million people worldwide, often going undiagnosed until a fracture occurs.
Worldwide, one in three women and one in five men aged 50 and over suffer an osteoporotic fracture.
Osteoporosis causes bones to become weak and brittle, so they break easily, even as a result of a minor fall, bump, sneeze, or sudden movement.
Fractures caused by osteoporosis can be life-threatening and a major cause of long-term pain and disability.

✅ What you can do:

Ensure adequate calcium and vitamin D intake
Engage in regular weight-bearing and muscle-strengthening exercise
Avoid smoking and limit alcohol
Ask your healthcare provider about bone density testing if you are at risk
