Anxiety can’t control you.
Even on the hardest days, you are more than your anxious thoughts.💚

Anxiety might make you feel out of control — but remember:
- You are still the one breathing.
- You can pause, ground yourself, and ask for support.
- You can take back small moments of calm — one step at a time.

Be kind to yourself today. You’re doing better than you think.

💙 October is ADHD Awareness Month 💚

ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is more than just being “easily distracted” — it’s a different way of thinking, feeling, and focusing.

People with ADHD may experience:
- High energy and creativity
- Difficulty with attention or organisation
- Impulsivity or restlessness
- Incredible passion, drive, and innovation

With understanding, support, and the right tools, people with ADHD can thrive in every area of life.

Let’s challenge the stereotypes and celebrate neurodiversity — because every mind matters. 💚

A heartfelt thank you to Julie Marks, our NIHCSS Office Manager, for her exceptional organisation, and to Charlotte Tolbart and Khloe Kritnoi for their support in preparing for the event.

We’re also deeply grateful to everyone who attended, all our key speakers and to all those who arranged a stall for the networking event — your time, passion, and contribution helped make the day so meaningful.

💙 Schizophrenia is often misunderstood — but education is key to compassion.

It’s a long-term mental health condition that affects how a person thinks, feels, and experiences the world.
People may experience:

- Hallucinations (hearing or seeing things that others don’t)

- Delusions (strong beliefs not based in reality)

- Disorganized thoughts or speech

- Difficulty concentrating or expressing emotions

💚 Schizophrenia does not mean having “split” personalities — that’s a common myth.

With the right support, therapy, and medication, many people live full, meaningful lives.

Let’s break the stigma and replace fear with understanding.

Last Wednesday, Bakery Court staff had an amazing Team Building Day at Escape Hunt in Norwich.
The 'Alice in Puzzleland' team did it in 58 minutes and the 'Blackbeard's Treasure' team completed it in an hour and 7 minutes.

Such a fun day and of course the perfect photo op taking advantage of the fun hats. 💚💙
