Every year, the Earth yields billions of tons of natural resources and at some point in the not too distant future it will run out. That’s why we must think again about what we throw away – seeing not waste, but opportunity. The last decade has been the hottest on record, and we are now facing a climate emergency of unparalleled proportions. If we don’t make significant and rapid changes, we will see continued rising global temperatures, the melting of icecaps, continents on fire and rapid deforestation.

Are you worried about the risks of domestic abuse for yourself or someone you know?

We understand that staying at home might be particularly difficult for some people. 

Home is supposed to be the safest place for us all right now, but if you are experiencing domestic abuse then the advice to stay at home could be frightening.

If you or someone you know, whose family or partner is threatening them, controlling their behaviour or being violent, this is domestic abuse. If you need support or know someone who does visit www.safetotalk.org.uk or call 0800 111 4998.

Make May Purple is our Stroke Association fundraising and awareness campaign that coincides with National Stroke Awareness month – May.

The Coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis is a difficult and worrying time for everyone. It suddenly turned our lives upside down and has affected people emotionally. We know isolation can be especially difficult for stroke survivors and their families, so we want to help in a small way if we can.

As you’re aware, this is usually the time we ask everyone to Make May Purple for stroke and get together to host activities and show support for stroke survivors. Some of you might have had to cancel your Make May Purple activities, so we wanted to offer some ways of helping you connect with us and the wider stroke community during this unprecedented time.

For more info, please visit the Stroke.org website.

Turning up late for a morning Teams catch-up because you’ve moved at the pace of a geriatric snail since waking; eating what’s at the back of the fridge in your comfies because you can’t be bothered to get dressed and go to buy lunch; yawning as your best friend asks you for advice. Sound familiar?
