For #WorldMentaHealthDay we launched a new campaign with @ASICSeurope to redefine a personal best to focus on how it feels, rather than a time, stat or number!

For me a personal best is feeling connected.
Feeling connected to others or to nature.

What’s your #NewPersonalBest?

The cost of living crisis is affecting the mental health of millions.
We can’t fix the cost of living crisis – but we can help each other cope.

This week is #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek. To mark #MHAW, @MindCharity have released new videos sharing people's experiences of mental health.
If this speaks to you, #SpeakToMind

[Mind @MindCharity]

1 in 4 of us will experience a mental health problem each year. But many of us don’t know where to reach out for support. Or how to share what we’re going through.
This Mental Health Awareness Week, let your friends and family know – if this speaks to you, #SpeakToMind
