💚 Today is World Su***de Prevention Day.

A simple conversation, a check-in or taking the time to listen can make a real difference to someone who may be struggling.

You don’t need to have all the answers. Being there, listening without judgement, and encouraging someone to reach out for support can be incredibly important.

Please remember that support is available. If you or someone you know is struggling, the contact details in the image are there to help. 💚

Life Skills – Personal Development Week 2 🌱🎨

This week we focused on Overcoming Setbacks.

We played Self-Care Bingo, sharing self-care tips and exploring how we can look after ourselves when things don’t go to plan. We discussed how setbacks are a normal part of life and how acceptance can help us move forward.

We also talked about thinking ahead and planning for potential setbacks, while being mindful not to ruminate or become stuck focusing on what went wrong.

We used art to express ourselves, painting flowers and experiencing our own setbacks along the way as we worked towards our final pieces. 🌸🎨 We learned that sometimes we need to adapt, persevere and keep going when things don’t turn out exactly as we imagined.

And, of course, with Self-Care Bingo…everyone was a winner in the end! 🏆

A great week of creativity, self-care, reflection and learning how to overcome life’s setbacks. 💚

🌿 Have you visited the Greenhouse Project yet? 🌿

Spending time in nature can do wonders for your mental wellbeing. A few moments surrounded by greenery can help reduce stress, lift your mood, and bring a sense of calm.

Take some time for yourself this week breathe, slow down, and enjoy the healing power of nature.

🪑 FREE OFFICE FURNITURE — GIVE IT A NEW HOME! 🏠

The great MHIST/BAND furniture clear-out has begun! 😂

Following the merger of MhIST (Mental Health Independent Support Team) and BAND, we’re having a bit of a clear-out to make room for our revamp — and some perfectly good furniture needs a new home!

🎁 FREE to anyone who can collect:

🗄️ 1 grey mental health cupboard
🧱 4 large display room dividers

📅 Collection deadline: Friday 21st August 2026 by 4:00pm

Think of it as:
“One organisation’s clear-out is another person’s bargain.” 😎

🚚 If nobody wants them, they’ll unfortunately be heading off with a recycling company — so save them from the furniture afterlife! 😂♻️

And that’s not all! 👀
We also have desks and other office furniture that need good homes. We’ll be posting pictures of those next week, so keep an eye on this page.

👉 Interested? Comment below or send us a message, r ring the office on 01204 380 643!!
