Month: May 2020

Hosted by the Mental Health Foundation, Mental Health Awareness Week will take place from Monday 18th to Sunday 24th May 2020.

The theme for 2020 is ‘kindness’.

Mental Health Awareness Week is the UK’s national week to raise awareness of mental health and mental health problems and inspire action to promote the message of good mental health for all.

Mental Health Awareness Week has been run by the Mental Health Foundation since 2001.

Survival expert Bear Grylls has introduced a new initiative called ‘The Great Indoors’ – a collection of 100 activities designed to encourage children to try new challenges and learn new skills at home.

The world-renowned adventurer and chief Scout has teamed up with the Scouts UK to launch ‘The Great Indoors’ initiative, a collection of more than 100 activities that children (and adults) can do to tackle boredom and stave off cabin fever. The activities range from boosting communication skills to problem-solving and include challenges such as creating a “storm in a teacup”, designing monster bookmarks and lollipop catapults, becoming a “black-out poet”, making hot air balloons, learning code, practising digital camera skills and much more. And it doesn’t matter where in the world you are, anyone can join in.
