Check-in on Someone
We all get by with a little help from our friends. A call to say hello and ensuring they are OK, have sufficient supply of food, warm clothes, or even medication whilst the shops are closed, are small gestures that can mean a lot over the festive season.
Share your Story

Setup a Facebook Birthday Fundraiser

Take Care of You
Self-care is something we all need, no matter the season. Being mindful takes practice, even on a good day. Read our post on ways into relaxation.
Read a Book
