Happy New Year to you all!
The Mental Health Champions would like to thank you for your continued support. Your involvement has helped raise awareness and reduce the stigma around speaking openly about mental health.
January is Mental Health Month, and we have a number of activities planned to support awareness and wellbeing.
Stir Up Gratitude
Our wellbeing partner, Everymind, invites us to Stir Up Gratitude. Taking a moment to recognise even one small thing we’re grateful for can help lift mood, strengthen connections, and spread positivity across the workplace.

Doing Good Together Fund
Supporting local causes brings people together, boosts morale, and has a positive impact on wellbeing. January is a great time to consider:
- What positive difference could your team make this year?
- Is there a local cause you could support?
If you know of a community group that could benefit from funding, encourage them to apply to the Doing Good Together Fund here.
