It's and today we're sharing a story from one of the wonderful people who accessed our No Wrong Door service.

“Jethro from Inclusion’s No Wrong Door has done so ineffably much to support me with my alcoholism. He was always very warm, friendly, non-judgemental, encouraging, empowering and easy to speak to, not to mention wise and insightful beyond his years, and genuinely eager to help.”

Today is Random Acts of Kindness Day 💛

Let's go above and beyond to make kindness the norm, not just today but every day. Small acts of kindness really do matter, and you never know how much a small gesture could mean to someone. Whether it is a kind word or compliment, checking in on someone who needs it, lending a hand or acknowledging something that is important to someone, it all counts. There are so many ways to show kindness to others, so let's try to increase the kindness in our world.

This week is HIV testing week, but it's important to talk about all kinds of blood borne viruses.

It is very important to test for BBVs if there is any chance of having one, as some BBV's such as hepatitis C are considered silent as some people can live with hepatitis C and not have any symptoms for many years. Even when present, symptoms aren't always obvious and can vary from person to person. The good news is that testing for hepatitis C is quick and easy.
