last month we started delivering our men’s peer support facilitator training program called ‘cha in the city’ across leicester! ✨
if you're interested in a running a group for Punjabi men yourself please reach out to [email protected]
earlier today i helped to host a wellbeing walk for professionals in Birmingham from BT, PWC, EY, Deutsche Bank, Accenture, JLR, Goldman Sachs and more.
an amazing turnout and a chance for members to connect, share a cha, and check-in during a busy work week 😌
we're so fortunate to be partnering with gurpreet singh who will be running 3 marathons in 3 weekends to fundraise for taraki's new youth mental health innovation fund!

Over the last year, I've felt like I've been falling behind. I've been letting these thoughts sit with me for so long, but I hope they can relate to anyone reading.
Here are some words on feeling behind, but being right where you need to be. 🤎
