I chose this picture from last years charity golf day where 2 days before I was told by Stuart Rayner that I would be talking on behalf of the foundation. This was harder than organising 160 people to play the golf during the day.
I can’t wait for this pandemic to be over and get back to normality and also to be able to deliver this talk again and raise awareness and much needed funds for the Lucy Rayner Foundation.
75% of all suicides, that are committed by men, too many already have been taken way too soon!
We can’t keep letting this slip by us, be strong, be there for each other and please never be afraid to speak up or try and reach out to anyone, even myself!
#ChallengeAccepted #24hours
(If I didn't tag you, please don't be offended, I tried to pick people who I thought would take part)
All too often, some men find it easier to
criticize each other or themselves instead of building each other up, with all the negativity going around, lets do something positive!!
Upload 1 picture of yourself... ONLY you.
Then tag 10 or more men to do the same. Build yourself and everyone around you up instead of tearing yourself/ others down COPY AND PASTE
If I tagged you, don't disappoint me, you better do it!! Let's spread some positivity please!

What a lovely message. I have ❤ it but I also want to cry 😭. Such sad times but we will get through it. Everyone please keep safe and look after the vulnerable in your families and community. 💋
In these uncertain times, you may have decided to self-isolate, cancelled social gatherings, not seeing your friends and family as much as you would like. With these current changes it may have an impact on your own mental health. It is really important we look after our families and our own wellbeing.
Make sure you create a safe space, practising mindfulness, try to stick to a similar daily routine and make sure you regularly check in on your loved ones - FaceTime is great, if you can. 📱Discussing any fears, anxiety you may have through these uncertain times with someone you trust is really important ❤️
📢 With the current situation and the new updates, we have called an urgent meeting regarding our future events. An announcement will be made on Monday. 📢
We all have a part to play and anyone trained as a Mental Health First Aider it’s now time to put your skills in practice - Supporting others who are struggling with the uncertainty and panic- Start a conversation.
Few tips to help:
✅Set the day off with early morning music/podcast
