🧡 Warm Welcome Week starts on Blue Monday, running from Monday 19 January to Sunday 25 January 2026. This January, we’re taking ‘Blue Monday’ back by giving it a colourful makeover. We’re inviting everyone to embrace a warming palette – whether you simply pop on an old orange bobble hat, or get creative with craft or cooking, together we will chase away the blues this winter.

💛 It will be fun and exciting, but with a serious message and purpose. For too many people, January is the coldest, loneliest and most challenging time of the year – in recent years the phrase ‘Blue Monday’ has been adopted to describe the month’s lowest point. As well as taking its toll on mental health this long, dark month can be financially difficult and many households face the stark choice between heating and eating.
