We’re joining @MindCharity in the fight for mental health this #MHAW by encouraging our @qbeeo employees to find the time to meditate for their own mental #wellbeing. We'll donate £10,000 between our charity partners if we reach our 10,000 minute meditation goal!

With so many support and benefit services operating largely online, a mobile phone is now essential for survival for many of our members. So we're especially grateful for @tescomobile's donation of £700K worth of phones and data packages theguardian.com/society/2020…

Coronavirus has been tough for all of us, but imagine going through a mental health crisis and being sectioned during lockdown. Promised reforms to the Mental Health Act are long overdue. The UK Government must take action now. Join our campaign bit.ly/2YaMzCl

Catherine never understood why she always had to be on the move – from country to country. Then she found out about avoidant personality disorder, and realised she had been running away from everything she couldn't cope with in life. > bit.ly/2V9vbNC
