We want to say the biggest thank you to our channel swimming fundraisers, and also congratulate you on making the decision to do what was best for your wellbeing! Still a mind blowing achievement and sometimes accepting a DNF proves you're even stronger 💪

Today is World Mental Health Day. We know farming is a tough job, which is why we teamed up with Shout UK, a 24/7 text support service. It’s been encouraging to hear that some of you have benefited from reaching out. Since we teamed up in August, we’ve had over 335 farmers reach out and have had 356 conversations, offering support with stress and worry. If you are also a farmer that is finding it tough, we implore you to reach out. So, to all our farmers out there: if you're feeling overwhelmed or stressed, text HAWKSTONE to 85258 for free and confidential support. 

Shout plays a key role in providing urgent mental health care in the UK. Our new report, in partnership with Institute of Global Health Innovation at Imperial College London, found that Shout's accessibility and reach means it can provide vital support at a time of unprecedented need. Alongside anonymous data insights from more than 2.5 million Shout conversations, our Service User Voice Group helped us to understand the impact Shout has, and where we can continue to do more 💜 Read the full report > https://lnkd.in/eiX2qCnt
