It’s , and we’re proud to support our partners at Mind in opening up conversations about mental health💙

Talking openly and honestly can be the first step toward better mental health, for ourselves and the people around us.

Mind has shared some simple steps to start a supportive conversation:
❓️ Ask open, non‑judgmental questions to give someone space to share how they're feeling.
👀 Use small verbal cues like “I see” or “What happened next?” to show you’re actively listening and that their words matter.

Every conversation has the power to break stigma and help someone feel less alone.

Today is Brew Monday, also known as the most depressing day of the year, it's a reminder to put the kettle on and check in with the people we care about. Small talk can turn into big talk and it's important to keep in touch with one another 🤝 ☕

We have launched Brew Monday Stations across our schemes so our colleagues are equipped with plenty of cakes and cuppas to get the conversations flowing! 🍰

Remember if you or anyone you know needs help, contact The Samaritans on 116 123 or follow the link to email or chat to someone online:

With the support of our staff, customers over at New Hope are developing their cooking skills through regular sessions designed to build confidence🧑‍🍳🤝

So far, they’ve made soup, chicken and mushroom pie with bread and butter pudding! 😋

The food looks delicious and this initiative is an important step forward in helping customers develop essential cooking skills and moving towards more independence! 🌟

Thank you so much to the lovely Claire Jepson and Mow Cop Community Group for kindly coordinating the donation of 70 shoeboxes for our customers! 🎁

The shoeboxes were handed out to rough sleepers at Hanley Connect’s Christmas Eve Party, where customers opened them alongside their Christmas dinner, and of course, we had to bring back our very own Santa Claus! 🎅

For some people, this was all they received for Christmas this year, making it even more meaningful. Everyone had a great time, and it’s a true reminder of how far kindness and community spirit can go! ⭐️
