Head of Work and Welfare @PSpencerCSJ spending time in #Burnley this week with @markdhirst and the team @SPEFurnishings as part of our #thefutureofwork programme.
Huge thanks to staff @Promethean for your generous donation. Without kindness like this, we simply could not operate. Could your business help us to support local people in genuine need? Great #CSR opportunity. Email [email protected] to get involved. #CommunityBusiness
If someone broke their leg, you wouldn’t try to operate. You’d simply do what you can to get them help.
Supporting someone with mental health is very similar. So let’s not be afraid to intervene because we don’t feel “qualified” to do so. Do what you can, but don’t avoid it.
Today was a @SPEFoodBank 1st, as we received an ONLINE BIG SHOP. A remarkably generous donation, that will have huge impact this Christmas! We're not sure that the delivery driver knew what to make of it all! Can or crate, every donation makes a difference. #CommumityChristmas
Amazing @D18NNE thank you so much. You are the first, hopefully of many! Can't wait to see the @BurnleyCampus trolley full. It will genuinely make Christmas possible for many families in our town. #reverseadvent
1 in 4?
No, we need to stop looking for the 1 in 4.
We need to stop judging ourselves if we are the 1 in 4.
Instead, we need to remember it’s 1 in 1.
We all have mental health. We all need support and education on how to look after it.
On #WorldKindnessDay what could you do? How about supporting our Reverse Advent Calendar Campaign? Simply collect a food item each day, when opening your calendar. We will distribute what you donate, to local people, to help them this Christmas. DM for details. #BetterChristmas
Today's @SPEFoodBank parcel delivery has been made possible by the kindness of more local schools. A huge thanks to the staff and pupils of Magical Tree Nursery, Ightenhill Primary, Holy Trinity Primary, Brunshaw Primary and St. John The Baptist RC Primary. #foodbank#harvest
If you missed Mark on @BBCLancashire yesterday we are now on BBC iPlayer. A great show with Brett Davison, he talked about @SPEFoodBank, our work with @PCCU3 and of course @SPEFurnishings. If you want to skip to our bits head to 13 and 39 minutes. https://t.co/0Ej6hpiBKp
After a busy summer, with more families seeking help, our food bank stocks are critically low. The #harvest donations we receive are more important this year than ever. Could you help? If so please get in touch. A retweet costs nothing and helps us spread the word. #foodbank
Brilliant @LowerhouseCC It would be amazing if we could match crowd numbers with tins. Do you have a spare tin or 2 in the cupboard to help? #bringatinfriday https://t.co/rBvuTmOiNg
95% of employees calling in sick with stress give a different reason. Talking about mental health in the workplace can still feel awkward, but it doesn't have to be. Being there for a colleague could make their day.
#MentalHealthAwarenessWeek
This week is #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek. For many people, the shame and isolation that comes with a mental health problem is worse than the condition itself. Let's change the way we think and act about mental health.
@sharpeykenners Hi yes we do. Our food bank is based at @SPEFurnishings at Briercliffe Shopping Centre in Burnley. Food can be dropped off 10 till 4 Monday to Friday. The Food Bank Twitter is @spengageuk thanks:)
