Tuesday Thoughts 💭

Half-time or after the match — make time to check in with yourself and/or someone else

🗣️ Half-time: check in on your mental health
💬 Ask a mate how they’re really doing
🏃 After the match: think about your physical health

Don’t ignore something that doesn’t feel right. Get advice early and get the right care for you - it's okay not to be okay and you're not alone 💪🏻

Thank you to all our lovely wonderful volunteers who always have a smile and such kindness week in week out.

They collect the food donations, set up on a friday morning, provide the refreshments, run our clothes stand, organise the raffle, clean up afterwards without ever complaining, without every single one of you we wouldn't have a community fridge so thank you 🤩

Recently Shania organised our "Mind Matters" giveaway and here she can be seen presenting the gift voucher to winner Valerie Morrow along with the cute Ellie 🐶
