This year’s theme is ‘Be Kind to your Mind’ and they have organised several activities for the local individuals, charities, local businesses, mental health and wellbeing organisations across the Borough to get involved with and celebrate.
Themes include:
- Be Active – for your mental and emotional health, and wellbeing
- Be Mindful – Practise mindfulness, live in the present moment and look for the positives.
- Be Kind – Connect with others, be kind to yourself.
- Give to others – Perform random acts of kindness, volunteer and give to your local community.
- Keep Learning – Invest in your interests and hobbies.
