This Week also marks OCD Awareness Week.

Beyond the stereotypes and misunderstandings of the condition, OCD can be a crippling issue for some, having a significant impact on daily life, relationships, and mental wellbeing.

OCD is much more than being organised, liking things to be clean or being particular. It can involve intrusive, distressing thoughts and compulsions that can be exhausting and difficult to manage.

This OCD Awareness Week, if you live with OCD we want to hear what you wish people knew about it?

In an ever-changing world, we are all aware that hate is rising across our city and communities, which is why we cannot turn a blind eye to it.

This week is Hate Crime Awareness Week (10th-17th October 2026), and we are asking you to join us in the campaign against hate. Will you answer the call?

*"24.0% of Bristol residents said fear of crime affects their day-to-day life, higher than the previous year (21.4%).

Religion or belief hate crime recorded the biggest increase (47.1%), followed by gender hate crime (23.0%). 67% of hate crime in 2025/26 was recorded based on racial prejudice, followed by sexual orientation (10.6%) and disability (7.7%)."

Mental health affects us all, yet many people still struggle in silence.

Today, we are encouraging everyone to speak up about their mental health, to check in on the people around them, and to break the stigma around speaking out about their mental health!

Together we can create spaces where people feel safe to talk without fear of judgement, and remind one another that nobody has to face their struggles alone.

You don’t always have to have the right words. You don’t have to have everything figured out. You just have to know that your feelings matter, your voice deserves to be heard, and you are not alone.

Share how you're checking in this World Mental Health in the comments and help us keep the conversation going!

With fast approaching, you might be asking how you can have an impact?

It doesn't need to be a big gesture; often a conversation about mental health can make all the difference.

And if you want to connect with your team beyond the break room, we have some suggestions on how you can make your workplace a more informed and open place to be.

Start the conversation this World Mental Health Day.

🐾 It’s National Dog Day! 🐶💙
Dogs aren’t just loyal companions—they’re also amazing for our mental health. From lowering stress and anxiety to encouraging exercise and boosting connection, our four-legged friends bring comfort and joy when we need it most.

Today, we celebrate the unconditional love and the numerous benefits that dogs bring us every day. 🐕✨

How has your dog supported your mental health? Share your stories below 👇

Here's one from our very own IT and Office Admin:

'I adopted my French Bulldog, Wilbur, as an emotional support animal.
Since then, he has been with me through many ups and downs. He has become my little shadow, always begging for treats and attention, snoring the house down, and keeping me afloat when the world gets a little too much.'

We are excited to announce that we are recruiting new volunteers for our emotional support helpline, Bristol Mindline! All our volunteers undertake training in active listening - full details of our next training dates can be found on bristolmindline.org.uk. People choose to volunteer for Bristol Mindline for many reasons: to learn new skills, support your local community, and meet fellow volunteers who share your values. Here's what one of our volunteers had to say:

"I feel privileged that people put their trust in me and the wider team and proud that we can support so many people in the community. Every shift is different. Many calls are challenging. But to be able to support in that moment is so very rewarding and humbling. As a volunteer, I have felt completely supported by Mindline employees and the wider team of volunteers. It is a safe space with continuous learning and reflection"
