During heatwaves it can be a struggle for some coping with a variety of things like anxiety, depression, grief and physical conditions. So, the heat makes it tough going, especially when some are feeling so sunny. Be kind to yourself as coping is different for everyone.☀️💦💚 – at Hereford, England

Please consider donating your glass to Cambridge @samaritans, this year's charity partner, before you leave the festival. Hand it to one of their volunteers around the site, and your £4 will support them💚to keep taking 1,000s calls from people in distress each year.

Unfortunately, our newly refurbished shop was vandalised last night, and the window was smashed. Our Macclesfield Samaritan volunteers have worked so hard to get this shop open and we were so close to opening. It is devastating to see this happen. Please share this post around.

1 in 4 of us will experience suicidal thoughts in our lifetime. It’s likely that if you haven’t experienced them yourself, someone you know has, so it’s important to shed some light on what they are and how you can support someone going through them.

Every 90 minutes someone in the UK dies by suicide. Ahead of #WEURO2025, we’re asking fans to take a moment to check in. Whether heading to the game or texting in the group chat, a simple “How are you doing, really?” can go a long way.

Today is #SelfHarmAwarenessDay. We know lots of people find it difficult to know the right thing to say if someone they care about is self-harming, so we’ve teamed up with our friend @DrAmirKhanGP to share tips on how to have these important conversations. 👇

It’s not always easy to know what to say when someone you care about is going through a rough time. But reaching out, even with a small text, can remind them they’re not alone. Here’s a few message ideas 👇

The #holiday season can be difficult - if you can't go away when others do. Or if you can't spend it with those you love most. Or if you're feeling alone in a crowd. 🐚 Don't suffer on your own. We're here to listen 24/7. Call us free on 📞116 123 or email [email protected].
