Mental Health Awareness Week 2021 - Exploring Nature

10th - 16th May 2021 is Mental Health Awareness Week. Nature and exercise is pivotal for people's mental health and wellbeing. The evidence is clear that access to nature is crucial for our mental health and millions of people re-discovered that during lockdowns this year. However, this was not the same for all of us. This year The Mental Health Foundation want to explore what the barriers are and ensure everyone is able to share in the natural world and experience the mental health benefits.
Deaf Awareness Week 3rd - 9th May 2021 - Raising Awareness via zoom
