World Mental Health Day 2026

This year’s theme, “Lived Experiences Heard: Real Voices, Real Change,” reminds us of the importance of listening to those with lived experience.

Today, we’re resharing our conversation with community member Joe, who bravely opened up about living with bipolar disorder and how Irish Community Care has supported him on his journey.

💚 Stories like Joe’s remind us of the power of community, connection and speaking openly about mental health.

Thank you, Joe, for sharing your story and helping to break the stigma.

💚 Wellbeing Wednesday | World Mental Health Day

This Saturday, 10 October, marks World Mental Health Day.

This year’s theme is “Lived experiences heard: Real voices, real change”, highlighting the importance of listening to people’s experiences and making sure their voices are part of conversations around mental health.

Sometimes one of the most meaningful things we can do is simply make space for someone to talk, listen without judgement and remind people that they don’t have to manage everything alone.

At Irish Community Care, we know the importance of connection, conversation and community. Whether you need practical support, someone to talk to or help finding the right services, our team is here.

This World Mental Health Day, we’re encouraging everyone to check in with themselves and with those around them. A conversation really can make a difference. 💚

The stories of Irish women deserve to be celebrated 💚

Irish Community Care Director Breege McDaid joins St Brigid’s Arms creators .walsh and to reflect on the generations of Irish women who came to the North of England to build new lives, families and communities, as well as the women of Irish descent and heritage who continue to shape those communities today.

For so long, the role of Irish women has often been overlooked, which is why St Brigid’s Arms feels like such a special space.

Even the name says something important. We see so many pubs named after men, but how often do we see a space named in honour of a strong Irish woman?

St Brigid’s Arms is warm, welcoming and full of stories, bringing together different generations and experiences while creating space for conversation, connection and pride in Irish heritage.

We’re incredibly proud to have been part of this project and to see what it already means to our community.

You can visit St Brigid’s Arms at the until 17 April 2027.

The doors of St Brigid’s Arms are open! ☘️

Today marks the launch of the wonderful St Brigid’s Arms exhibition as part of at the

We caught up with creators Rosarie Walsh and Lydia O’Hara to hear more about the project and how they worked with women of Irish heritage to bring this very special space to life.

Inspired by the traditional Irish pub as a place for gathering, connection and storytelling, St Brigid’s Arms is a fictional venue created by and for women of Irish heritage living in the North of England. Through art, music, dance, personal stories and shared memories, the exhibition explores migration, identity, belonging and heritage, while celebrating the voices and experiences of Irish women across generations.

It has been wonderful to see women of Irish heritage come together from across the North of England as part of the project, helping to create a welcoming and safe space to share culture, stories and experiences and to learn from one another.

We are looking forward to sharing more exclusive content from St Brigid’s Arms and hearing more from the women who helped bring this special space to life.
