 🌟Mental Health Awareness Week: Supporting Our Community 🌟 Today let’s focus on the power of support within our communities. By supporting small businesses, charities, and our community, we can create a ripple effect of positivity and well-being. 🛍️ Support Small Businesses: Our local businesses are the backbone of our communities. By shopping locally, we not only boost the economy but also foster a sense of belonging and support. 💖 Support Charities: Charities play a crucial role in providing essential services and support to those in need. Consider donating your time, resources, or funds to a cause close to your heart. 👥 Supporting People: Sometimes, the best support we can offer is a simple act of kindness. Reach out to your neighbors, friends, and family. A small gesture can make a big difference. Together, we can build a stronger, more supportive community. Let’s make this Mental Health Awareness Week a time of connection and compassion. 💚 #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #SupportLocal #CommunitySupport #SmallBusinesses #Charity #MentalHealthMatters #totallypsyched

‼️ Overnight, our tiny charity InspireUK - The Charity has been inundated with referrals for subsidised and low-cost mental health therapy. We need your help delivering this. So, what can you do? 1) Do you know therapists who might be willing to provide a limited number of free or low cost therapy sessions? Must be BACP registered. Please introduce us! 2) Can you donate? Any finances that come to us go directly to our client work. We have no employees, only tireless volunteers. https://lnkd.in/eYm5tnhe 3) Can you spread the word about both points 1 and 2? Repost this, send it to your friends, tell your family! We help people who face a myriad of barriers to accessing mental health care via traditional routes. The overnight flood of referrals we have received is bittersweet. We feel honoured to be in a position to help so many people but we also recognise this is a symptom of an ever-surging mental health crisis, and broken systems that desperately need repairing to sustain long-term public health, wellbeing and happiness. Help us to continue being one of the many charities who act as a safety net and stop gap for those who are struggling.

In 2024, raise money for charity in 24 hours! Take on the ’24 in ‘24’ challenge for MQ Mental Health and raise vital funds for research into mental health. Time is tight; we all lead busy lives, so why not dedicate just one day to raising money for mental health this year? How much can you raise in 24 hours? https://lnkd.in/e2xepykf

Mental Health - Sad Facts Facts and statistics: ·        Over 700,000 people take their own life each year – that’s one person every 40 seconds (WHO) ·        115 people die by suicide in the UK every week – with 75% of those deaths being male (ONS) ·        Males aged 45-49  have the highest suicide rate (Samaritans) ·        10% of young people self-harm (Mental Health Foundation) Over the course of one’s lifetime: ·        1 in 5 people have suicidal thoughts (NHS Digital) ·        1 in 14 people self-harm (NHS Digital) ·        1 in 15 people attempt suicide (NHS Digital) Fundraising: So, with that Edward Saldanha and I have chosen #ANDYSMANCLUB as a charity we would like to raise some cash for. I kindly ask each and every one of you to thrust your hand into your pocket and donate a single solitary £1. That £1 will go a long way to help someone in their moment of need as mental health will affect us all at one point in our life (I can speak with authority). The Challenge is two-fold, hiking a route on the Camino de Santiago (Spain) and then The West Highland Way (Scotland) later in the year.
