A big thank you to everyone who stopped by to see me at the RMB Chivenor Families Day last week.

It was a fantastic day and great to meet so many people while working alongside some amazing organisations, including Royal Navy Family and People Support, Aggie's RM Chivenor, Army Welfare Service, Green Paths Environmental Education CIC / Op Hearth, Army Families Federation - AFF, Naval Families Federation, West Buckland School, Root Cause Project CIC (to name just a few), and of course ice creams supplied by BFBS Radio Operation Ice Cream! 🍦

Thank you to everyone who came over for a chat. If you have any further questions or would like to find out more about the support available, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

We look forward to attending again next year! 😊

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week, and this year's message from the Mental Health Foundation reminds us that real change happens when we take action. 💚

Looking after our mental health is not always easy, and it often gets pushed to the bottom of the list when life is busy. Taking action can be something small - making time to rest, getting outside, speaking openly, connecting with others, or doing something that helps us slow down and recharge.

Prioritising our wellbeing is not selfish; it is important.

This week is a good reminder to check in with ourselves and think about what we might need a little more of right now.
