Well… this is interesting. 👀

I wrote to the Prime Minister Andy Burnham about mental health prevention, the gaps we’re seeing in Leicester, and the work we’ve already built at NEU.

Today, Government wrote back.

Their plans?
Earlier intervention. Community support. Joined-up services. Charities and voluntary organisations involved in preventing crisis.

Erm… HELLO?! 👋

This is literally the conversation we’ve been trying to have Department of Health and Social Care

We’ve built the model.
We’ve built the NEU Community App.
We’re doing the work.

Don’t build it and then ask communities what they think.

Talk to us while you’re building it.

Read the letter. 👆

When did urgent stop being urgent?

On World Su***de Prevention Day, we’re asking a bigger question.

We tell people to reach out. But what happens when they do?

Su***de prevention isn’t just about speaking up. It’s about making sure somebody is there to respond.

Due to small numbers and large work commitments, I have had to make the decision to change the time of NEUkulele. The new time with be 4-5.30/6pm. I am sorry to those that may no longer be able to attend due to work etc but with the projects NEU currently have and the lack of funding we just can't justify being there until 7.30 🙁.

We really hope you can still make it. This week, one of our NEUkers has kindly offered to teach us a little guitar so if you have one, bring it! If you don't, we will still be Uke-ing for the first hour 🙂

4½ years ago, I did a Youth Mental Health First Aider course.

I had no idea it was about to change the direction of my life.

It started with me dragging a rug into school and creating a little safe space for my year group.

Then I wrote the first version of a wellbeing journal.

It was homemade. It was basic. And looking back at it now makes me smile.

Because that little journal was the beginning of something much bigger.

I spent the next few years trying to find ways to use wellbeing to actually help people.

I trained in neuroscience. Trauma. Mental health. Wellbeing.

I learned.
I unlearned.
I changed my mind about things.
I changed parts of my own life too.

I created and delivered a wellbeing and self-development programme at HMP Fosse Way.

I kept building my skills.

And eventually, Fin and I founded NEU Community Wellbeing CIC.

Since then, there have been programmes, schools, prisons, communities, workshops, conversations, setbacks, breakthroughs and a LOT of learning.

But through all of it, one thing has stayed the same.

I don’t want wellbeing to be another list of things people should be doing.

I want people to understand themselves.

Their brain.
Their emotions.
Their patterns.
Their environment.
Their relationships.
Their wellbeing.

Not just the theory.

The person.

And now, 4½ years after that first little journal, we have the new NEU Wellbeing Journal and the NEU Wellbeing App.

Both are built around brain science, real life and practical tools people can actually use.

And this is where I need a little favour ❤️

Please can you share them far and wide?

📱 Search NEU Community Wellbeing in the App Store.

If you join the app, use code NEU2026.

📖 The wellbeing journal is here:

Even if it isn’t something you need yourself, sharing it might help it land in front of someone who does.

From a rug, a safe space and a homemade journal… to NEU.

Still learning. Still building. Still trying to make wellbeing actually work for real people.

❤️

A practical, brain-informed journal to help you understand your wellbeing, recognise patterns and discover what supports you.
