💚 Today is World Mental Health Day.

You do not have to wait until things feel overwhelming to talk about how you’re feeling. A conversation with someone you trust can be a place to start. Your GP practice can also help you find support.

If you need urgent mental health help, call NHS 111 and select the mental health option. If someone is in immediate danger, call 999.

You are not alone. 💚

💙 Back pain often improves, but you should contact your GP practice if it has not improved after a few weeks, is stopping you doing everyday activities, or you’re worried about it.

Get urgent medical help if back pain comes with numbness around your ge****ls or bottom, or new problems controlling your bladder or bowels.

❤️ October is National Cholesterol Month.

Small food swaps can support your heart health. Try porridge oats at breakfast, add beans or lentils to a meal, or choose unsaturated oils such as olive or rapeseed oil in place of butter.

Which swap could you try this week?

📦 Before lifting something, take a moment to plan.

Check that you can manage the weight, keep the item close to your body and avoid twisting as you lift. If it feels too heavy or awkward, ask for help or use suitable equipment.

A little planning can make an everyday task easier on your back.

🪑 Have you been sitting in the same position for a while?

Take a moment to stand, walk around or change position. Small movement breaks can help you feel less stiff, whether you’re at a desk, watching television or travelling.

What reminds you to get up and move?

🚶 When your back hurts, it can be tempting to stay in bed. For most back pain, continuing with gentle activity is more helpful than prolonged bed rest.

Try a short walk or keep up with everyday activities at a level you can manage. Start gently and build up as you feel able.

🏳️‍🌈 FINAL CALL – SUPPORT FOR LGBT VETERANS 🎖️

Were you affected by the historic ban on LGBT people serving in HM Armed Forces?

Between 1967 and 2000, LGBT personnel were prohibited from serving openly in the Armed Forces. Many people experienced careers being cut short, harassment, investigations and other serious mistreatment as a result.

The Ministry of Defence is encouraging anyone affected to come forward before the current recognition schemes close.

💷 Financial Recognition Scheme
Eligible veterans may be able to apply for payments of up to £70,000, depending on their experiences.

🎖️ Non-Financial Restorative Measures
Those affected may also be able to apply for measures including:
• The return of their beret
• Removal of dishonour from administrative discharges
• A service ceremony where restorative measures are formally presented

📅 Applications close: 12 December 2026

More than 1,700 veterans have already applied for Financial Recognition, but there may be many more people who are eligible and do not realise that this support applies to them.

You may not consider yourself a veteran, or you may have had little contact with the Armed Forces since leaving — you could still be eligible.

Please help us spread the word by sharing this post with friends, family and your community. It could reach someone who deserves recognition for what they experienced.

🔎 Search GOV.UK for “LGBT veterans affected by the ban” to find out more and apply.
