We are very grateful to all the teachers out there. Both of my children have exceptional teachers this year, they are missing them a lot. #HowWillYouSayThankYou

Thanks to @actionmedres for organising Let's Get Quizzical yesterday evening. Very entertaining. #StayHomeSaveLives

I am a proud night time volunteer for @GiveUsAShout . It is the most rewarding & meaningful thing in my life - joint with my family.

If you care about people and are a bit of a night owl or could be once or twice a week, please take a look...

[Mental Health Innovations @MHI_Charity]

We are looking for people who can #volunteer to support people at night time, from 10PM onwards too. Do you consider yourself an empath? Are you interested in making an impact on people's lives and making a difference? Then WE'RE LOOKING FOR YOU! https://t.co/ynDNqO1eVx

Proud to have been here!

[Mental Health Innovations @MHI_Charity]

What an AMAZING community we have! We're so proud of all our incredible #CrisisVolunteers & it's fantastic to see so many of them here today so we can celebrate all that they do & say a huge thank you to them. #Shout85258

[Katia King @ActionKatia]

@rustyrockets 100% yes & one great way to do this is through volunteering for @GiveUsAShout . Granted it's not purely 'invisible kindness' but it is a chance to practice true empathy and compassion and in return can give a deep connection to others going through dark times.

Last week @ChildrensComm published the 2019 vulnerability report. Their infographic powerfully illustrates the importance of speech & language therapy at an early age to reduce the risk of negative outcomes in #mentalhealth #gangviolence & #youthjustice https://t.co/SbirGQ5CBy

[Katia King @ActionKatia]

This was shared by a fellow @GiveUsAShout volunteer counsellor. It's a lovely idea & may bring strength.

We're excited that today The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have launched Shout, a 24/7 crisis text service, as a legacy of @heads_together. The Duke of Cambridge recorded this national appeal for #volunteers to help us support more people.

[Unlocking Potential @UPUnlocking]

We are looking for #volunteers to help support children aged 4-11 in London primary schools. You could be running lunch time art clubs, supporting the children with reading or their academic work in the classroom.
