We are blown away by the generosity of St.Johns methodist Church, Brookfield primary school and Milton School, who have dropped off this huge amount of their harvest festival donations to us. We appreciate you all and are grateful that our community is full of brilliant, kind people.

What does World Mental Health Day mean to us at the Lock? It’s raising awareness for something that 1 in 7 of us suffer with, whilst knocking down those walls surrounding the stigma attached to poor mental health. So it’s a good day in our books!

Make today count- start your own mental health journey- reach out to someone and make that first step towards better mental health.

Or perhaps you could reach out to someone who you know is struggling?

Having a friend in your corner, encouraging and supporting is sometimes all it takes for a person to seek the help they need.

We want everyone who is struggling to know they are not alone. Loneliness and isolation are huge factors in mental health issues, so if you find yourself struggling with no-one to turn to, we are here to support you.

Today we are paying tribute to Dame Esther Rantzen, who passed away yesterday aged 86.

We were lucky enough to have her visit our centre a few years back. She will be remembered as a journalist, a television presenter and a fierce campaigner- but her legacy reaches far beyond that.

Dame Esther Rantzen was the founder for Childline and The Silver Line. The list of her charitable contributions and involvement is lengthy; 55 charities as a president or vice president.

There’s not many people quite like her around, but her legacy will live on forever!

We are honoured to have been picked by Swinton Academy as part of their sponsored work. We would like to wish all the teams- students and staff- the best of luck.

A great example of community spirit and what better way to teach young people about contributing to their community than to have them walking through it!

For any of our supporters who would like to sponsor one of the teams, the link in the post below. Swinton Lock is yellow! But the other teams have very worthy causes as benefactors.

Today is the day! ✨✨✨

Please continue to donate to these 4 wonderful charities and keep a look out for our students today as we undertake our first ever sponsored walk.

Make sure to give us a wave as we pass! 💪👣
