[Mental Health Foundation @mentalhealth]

Mental and physical health are closely linked. 30% of people with long-term physical conditions also have mental health problems - but mental ill-health isn't inevitable.

It’s important to look after your physical and mental health, and not neglect one for the other. 💚👇

Great to see this funding that will provide an essential lifeline for survivors to help them escape domestic abuse and rebuild their lives.

[ManKind Initiative @ManKindInit]

This is brilliant news and thanks to @womensaid for leading on this hugely valuable support. To be clear, @ukhomeoffice have confirmed (despite quotes from @JamesCleverly and @laura_farris) that this fund is available for male victims and their children.

[Dame Nicole Jacobs @CommissionerDA]

I am delighted that govt is launching a Flexible Fund for 2024.

It will be a lifeline for many, helping victims flee abuse & rebuild their lives.

I hope this funding reaches as many victims as possible including those facing the most barriers to support.

🆕 NEW YEAR NEW GROUPS 🆕

Here's what we have coming up over the first month and a half of 2024 ❤

[Turning The Spotlight @TTSCumbria]

Andy's Man Club has groups running all over Cumbria

We have had really positive feedback from men we have worked with who have attended, saying it gives them a place where they feel they can open up without judgment

To find sessions near you visit https://t.co/7C4DCYHsD6

[#ANDYSMANCLUB @andysmanclubuk]

WE ARE BACK 👌

It is a new year and our sessions are running again on Monday 8th at 7pm - come along, vent as much or as little as you want, and try and find the true you, or the new you...

[Dame Nicole Jacobs @CommissionerDA]

Knowing that your partner has a history of abuse is potentially lifesaving information.

It is seriously concerning to see such inconsistency in the implementation of Clare's Law.

Opportunities to protect victims are clearly being missed.
