The Month of Community is a time to come together to celebrate everything that makes our communities great.

🧠 We create the systems and stories we live by.
And if we create them, we can reimagine them.
Communities across the UK are doing just that.

From an island in Scotland that Crowdfunded for its own freedom. To a Yorkshire town that began planting food in the streets without asking permission to combat food poverty. To a South London community group raising £130K to install the UK's first inner-city community-owned solar power station on top of a council estate.

This is what radical hope looks like.

Not waiting. Not hoping someone else will fix it.
Just people. Showing up for each other and their environment. Together.

If you can find it - join it.
If you can't find it - make it.

11th-17th May is ! 🧠 🩷

This year the theme coordinated by is to ‘Take Action’ to support good mental health.

Please join us in taking action; for ourselves, for others and for all of us.

Take action for yourself following the :

🌟 Take Notice: of your thoughts and things you're grateful for.
🌟 Move Your Body: in a way that feels good for you.
🌟 Learn About Something New: to expand your ways of thinking and perhaps learn a skill from someone you know.
🌟 Give out kindness: by doing something that brings you and/or others joy, smile at a stranger, let those you love know they are appreciated, pick up some litter in your local park or give some time to a cause you care about.
🌟 Connect: Reach out to others, no matter whether it's because you need support, to offer something or just to show them you care!

Studies show that the positive actions we take can ripple out into the world and have a meaningful impact far beyond ourselves in the present moment.

What action will you take today?
