It’s National Kindness Day Tomorrow!
This does not have to involve grand gestures, sometimes it’s just holding the door, sharing a smile, or taking a moment to really listen. Those little things can brighten someone’s whole day and usually make you feel pretty good too.

So tomorrow, I will be noticing and appreciating the small acts of kindness around me and definitely adding a few of my own into the mix 💛💜

What kind act has someone done for you lately?

This Friday is . The global theme this year is: "Access to services – mental health in catastrophes and emergencies" and "It Is Time to Prioritise Mental Health in the Workplace."

Did you know that while 64% of organisations are taking steps to reduce stress, only 50% believe their efforts are effective? This shows there’s still a big gap in giving employees the tools they really need.

That’s where I come in. I deliver tailored workplace wellbeing sessions designed to help staff:

✨ Improve focus and productivity
✨ Reduce anxiety and manage stress
✨ Build lasting skills for emotional regulation and resilience
✨ Take these strategies home for a calmer family life too

Investing in your team’s mental health isn’t just the right thing to do, it also creates stronger, calmer, and more effective workplaces.

And while my business is rooted in supporting children’s mental wellbeing, the same principles apply to adults too. With the right support, both adults and children can learn skills to manage stress, boost resilience, and thrive💜

As the nights draw in, it’s easy to slip into “cabin fever” mode. But autumn doesn’t have to mean endless screen time!

Here are some simple, screen-free ways to help your child stay active, calm, and connected this season https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/50-things/top-50-things-to-do-before-youre-11-activities-to-do-in-autumn
These are my top 3 ideas:

🌳 Wrap up for a woodland walk: collecting conkers and colourful leaves
🎨 Get creative indoors: make autumn collages or leaf rubbings
📚 Create a cosy corner with books and blankets for quiet time

Keeping children moving and mindful through autumn helps support their sleep, focus, and overall wellbeing.

Find out the best things to do in autumn, with our selection of items drawn from the National Trust's ‘50 things to do before you’re 11¾’ list.
