It’s – a reminder that a conversation, however small, can make a difference.

Talking about mental health doesn’t need to be perfect, clever, or fully formed — it just needs to start.

Today we’re taking time to:

💬 check in
👂 listen
🤝 be present

Wherever you are, whoever you’re with — make space for conversation today 💙

🎱 Community comes in all shapes and sizes — even in the form of a pool table.

Our pool nights have become a brilliant wee space for people to unwind, chat, meet new faces, and just enjoy being part of something supportive. You don’t need to be a pool expert (most of us aren’t! 😂) — you just need to come along.

Even our festive elf has jumped in on the action… proving that sometimes the smallest moments can make your week.

If you or someone you know is looking for a friendly, welcoming community, the door is always open with the C9 Foundation. 💙

We had the pleasure of joining the amazing team at Fts Motherwell for a 5k run followed by a cold water dip 🏃‍♂️❄️

The weather was spot on, but the company was even better 🙌 Plenty of good chats and laughs while getting to know the group – such a welcoming bunch.

We’re already looking forward to the next one! 💙

Here are a few snaps from the day 👇📸

🎉 A HUGE congratulations to Alan Sefton from all of us at the C9 Foundation! 🎉

You absolutely smashed it with an incredible time of 2 hours and 26 minutes. 🏅👏

But Alan didn’t just run for himself — he ran for mental health and raised an amazing £535 to support the work we do here at C9. This money will directly fund vital support sessions for our members and help us continue making a difference in people’s lives. 💚

Alan, your determination, spirit, and generosity are truly inspiring. From everyone here — thank you for going the distance for us. You’ve made a real impact.

Pool night’s are more than just pool — they are laughs, chats, and genuine check-ins.

Because when the pressure builds,
a quiet conversation between shots can make all the difference 💬💙

The sun’s out and so should you be — even 10 minutes outdoors can help clear your head, boost your mood, and top up those all-important vitamin D levels.

Whether it's a walk, a coffee on the step, or just pausing to feel the warmth on your face — it all counts.

Get some sun in ☀️💙

When life feels heavy, the right people can lift you — even when you don’t ask.

Support. Belonging. Strength.

That’s what real community brings. Because the truth is…

Community Changes Everything. 💬💙

Show up. Speak out. Stay strong.
