Next week is Volunteers Week 2020 – the UK’s biggest annual celebration of volunteering. We would like to take this opportunity to say a huge “Thank You” to all our volunteers without whom we could not deliver the range of services and projects we do. Throughout the week we will be showcasing stories from our volunteers on our social networks highlighting the many ways in which they contribute to the work of our charity. From our Counselling service to our Peer Group Network and from our Volunteer Youth Wellbeing Trainers to our Trustees, volunteering is part of the very fabric of what we do.

For Mental Health Awareness Week, we have created a special kindness-themed issue of our Mindful Memo in which we take a look at how being kind to others and to ourselves is good for our mental and physical health.
We also consider how kindness under lockdown is pervading all aspects of our collective lives from the world of work to the environmental campaign and as a result how society could be re-shaped with kindness at its heart.
Next week is Mental Health Awareness Week 2020. The theme this year is Kindness. During the week, Richmond Borough Mind will be running a range of workshops around this theme, focusing on being kind to others and kind to ourselves. There will be sessions on Mindfulness, Self-Compassion for Carers, Art, Yoga, Dance and Meditation. You can find a timetable of all the events here. If you would like to attend a workshop please sign up to Eventbrite or email [email protected]

Mental Health Awareness Week: Food and mood are linked in subtle, important ways. Natural foods contain nutrients that are good for our mental wellbeing and introducing them into our diet can help us feel more connected with the cycles of nature.
Mental Health Awareness Week: Whilst spending time in any green space will help your wellbeing, you could go one further and take a walk in some wild places where you can observe a variety of natural eco-systems. Go for a long Mindful Walk in a nature reserve or a natural forest and stop for at least 10 minutes to have a look around you. Check out this Mindful walking activity sheet. tinyurl.com/bj7ce7fb
Mental Health Awareness Week: Another great way to feel connected to the cycles of nature is growing herbs or vegetables. Follow the process of growth from a seed into a plant and harvest it when it's ready. You'll learn the art of patience and get to taste real food you nurtured yourself.

Mental Health Awareness Week: The survival of early humankind depended heavily on our senses. Nowadays, we rarely need to use them to their full extent. So we need to consciously make the effort. Touch the bark of a tree, disassemble a leaf, pick the pine nuts in a pinecone, listen to the birds sing.
