The MoD has now entered the Pre-Election Period. As an affiliated Network for Defence and due to strict Government controls on external communications, our social media platforms will be much quieter than usual and remain so until the General Election concludes.

#BrewMonday

[MOD HAND Network @HANDNetworkUK]

Make today a ‘Brew Monday’ and connect with a colleague or friend 🫖

[Samaritans @samaritans]

Blue Monday is a load of made up… 💩 (We said what we said)

Celebrate ✨#BrewMonday✨ with us today instead! ☕

Blue Monday is just a marketing gimmick that feeds unhelpful stereotypes about mental health. Retweet and let's all agree, it can get in the bin 🗑️

Today we mark #WorldAIDSDay. It's a day to remember the millions of lives lost to HIV and AIDS, but also to celebrate the lives saved by the scientific advancements of the last 40 years. Compassion, science, and humanity has led the way.

[MOD HAND Network @HANDNetworkUK]

We’re incredibly proud to have been part of the process to introduce like-minded pastoral care into the MOD and are grateful for our colleagues in @DefencePeople and the Service chaplaincies for their support in achieving this milestone.

They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them. #RemembranceDay2023 #LestWeForget
