Wow. Just wow. What a beautifully powerful speech our lovely Emma gave at the World Mental Health Day event yesterday ❤️

This looks interesting for adults with ADHD 😊

Are you an adult with ADHD who can be quite hard on yourself when you come up against life’s challenges? Do you think you could benefit from learning to be more compassionate towards yourself?

We would like to share an opportunity for adults with ADHD living in the UK to take part in a short online self-compassion programme led by an expert in the field.

Sophie Wong, a doctoral researcher at Royal Holloway, University of London would like to invite you to take part in her research project, ‘Evaluating a brief online Compassionate Mind Training programme delivered to adults with ADHD in the UK’.

She is carrying out research into self-compassion in adults with ADHD, with a goal of developing more support for this community. This research aims to explore the experiences and responses that adults with ADHD have to an online self-compassion programme.

If you are interested to take part or for more information, scan the QR code or visit this link: https://rhulpsychology.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_doMNBC9TPTjIfpI

This study has received ethics approval from Royal Holloway, University of London’s Research Ethics Committee, with the approval ID of 1054.

We’re excited to share that NT LIFE Recovery College has another chance to win £1,000 from The Benefact Group — and we’d really appreciate your support! We might not have won so far but you’ve gotta be in it to win it 😂

This funding would go directly towards our running costs, helping us continue to provide free courses and support for the mental health and wellbeing of people living and working across North Tyneside.

From wellbeing and recovery courses to DBT, OCD, resilience building, WRAP, anxiety and creative groups, every vote helps us continue offering safe, supportive spaces for our community.

If you have a moment, please vote for us at:

https://movementforgood.com/draws/1000

It only takes a minute, and every single vote and share makes a difference ❤️

Thank you so much for your continued support — it genuinely means a lot to us and to the people who access our services.

Shout out to vote for our friends at Live Well With Cancer 🩷 This funding would help so much.

You never know when cancer will affect yours or a loved one’s lives and this amazing local charity does amazing work to support those affected. Let’s all show our support and appreciation to Maureen and the team by voting. It takes only seconds and will be much appreciated ❤️

Links are on the original post.

🌸💙 A HUGE THANK YOU… but we still need your help! 💙🌸

We honestly can’t thank every single person, business and organisation enough for voting for Live Well with Cancer in the Certas Energy Community Bloom Awards.

We have been completely blown away by our amazing community. So many of you have shared the voting link, posted requests on your own pages, messaged friends, emailed everyone on your lists and encouraged others to get behind us. 🥹💙

And we’ve even had our Chair’s account suspended for 24 hours because they thought he was a bot! 🤣🙈 Anth knows A LOT of people!

But… we have just TWO DAYS LEFT! ⏰

We are still in with a chance of winning £15,000 for our community, and this really would be a game changer for Live Well with Cancer.

The funding would allow us to create an accessible room in our back garden, giving people who find the stairs difficult the opportunity to access counselling, one-to-one support and small groups without having to navigate the stairs.

We’d also be able to install a sink upstairs in our drinks area, meaning people wouldn’t have to keep going up and down the stairs just to fetch water.
It might sound like small changes, but they would make a huge difference to accessibility, independence and the way we can support our community.

So, if you haven’t voted yet, please, please take a couple of seconds to vote for Live Well with Cancer. And if you have already voted, we’d be incredibly grateful if you could share the link one more time. 🙏

👉 Vote here: https://certasenergy.co.uk/community-bloom-fund/

Two days. One big opportunity. £15,000 that could transform what we can offer our community. Let’s bring this back to the North East 💙

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. 💙🌸

On Wednesday, we headed down to North Shields Fish Quay for another of our Summer Wellness Walks… and LOOK WHAT WE FOUND!

A giant whale jaw bone! 🐋🦴

We also discovered some lovely views, fresh air, mindfulness, good conversations and sunshine! 💙

But rather than tell you how great the walk was… let’s let the people’s feedback speak for itself! 👀👇

💬 “Fun would be the main one for me — quite social and it was nice to chat to people about what courses they do at NT LIFE.”

💬 “It’s been quite therapeutic, nice and relaxing. Couldn’t have asked for a better day weather-wise, location was lovely too.”

💬 “I thought it was really relaxing and the mindfulness was really good.”

💬 “It was really enjoyable and good to get out — liked meeting new people.”

💬 “I remembered how good it is to get out in the morning to take in the beautiful scenes and how good it is to be outside for your wellbeing.”

💬 “I felt a real lift in my mood after it.” 🥹

And honestly… we couldn’t have said it better ourselves. 💙

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make our second Summer Wellness Walk such a lovely morning. 🌊☀️

Eeh guys, I’ve just had the absolute best reason sent in for not being able to attend today’s walk….

“I'm not going to be able to make today, I've just tripped over a bucket and punched a plant trying to get rid of a fly”

Honestly, this has set the bar for the apologies for missing any sessions in September 😂
