Did you know?

Today is the start of Mental Health Awareness Week and the theme this year is kindness. We will be helping to raise awareness of this topic related to mental health and to provide support for those who need it.

The theme was originally going to be 'sleep' but was changed to reflect mental health issues caused by the coronavirus lockdown. See what you can do during Mental Health Awareness Week
