When we are feeling low in mood, it can be hard to do the usual things we enjoy and that matter to us. You might notice you stop seeing friends as often, or it is harder to motivate yourself to exercise or do hobbies. This can leave us in a vicious cycle of low mood which can be hard to get out of.
When this happens we need to activate the behaviours that could help us, even if we don't feel like doing them. By starting to do more of what matters to us or that we need to do, this gives us more opportunity to get enjoyment from the things we do and can help lift our mood.

Well done to our amazing team for completing the walk from Bootle to Southport. Over 30km walked and an amazing amount raised for the two incredible charities: Bebe’s Hive and Elsie’s Story.

These organisations have deep personal meaning to many within our service, and the work they do continues to bring hope, comfort, and vital support to families during their most difficult times. Both charities have been set up following the devastating incident in Southport last July, where Bebe, Elsie and Alice lost their lives.

Please continue to show your support to these extremely important charities, please do so by donating using the links below. As each charity is separate, we have had to launch two just giving pages and we would be grateful if you could look at both before donating, to ensure we keep the donations as equal as possible.
