This week is Mental Health Awareness Week, which this year has the theme 'Action' - chosen because, while awareness is vital, real change comes when we take action too.

We are proud to have partnered with YoungMinds, the UK's leading charity for children and young people's mental health, and throughout 2026 we are encouraging BB groups to take action by holding events and activities to raise funds to support YoungMinds' vital work, as well as understanding around mental wellbeing.

By working collectively, we're aiming to raise an incredible amount of money for a worthwhile cause, whilst also equipping children and young people with a greater understanding of their own mental health and how to support others 🙌

Today we wish Sir David Attenborough a very happy 100th birthday! 🎂

It is wonderful to be a part of the celebrations of one of our national treasures, and in recent weeks Juniors across the country have been getting into a series of activities themed around Sir David, learning about his incredible life and career. They have also been collaboratively creating an art project which will be turned into a special birthday card to say thank you for all he has done to raise awareness of the natural world around us! 🌍
