International Stress Awareness Week 3rd-7th Nov

This is an annual campaign, typically held during the first full week of November, that aims to raise awareness about stress, its impact on mental and physical health, and the importance of stress management techniques. It encourages open conversations about stress and mental health, combats the stigma associated with these issues, and promotes ways to reduce and manage stress in both personal and professional life. The event also highlights the need for organisations to create supportive work environments, such as providing resources and managing workloads effectively.

Over 4,000 children in Coventry have needed our help this year because they don’t have the basics: clothes or school uniform. 💔

For many, even socks and underwear are out of reach. Teachers tell us they see children coming in without them day after day.

Right now, as we head into winter, we have a three-week waiting list for some children’s sizes because demand is so high.

Every child deserves to be warm, comfortable, and confident.
Can you spare just a couple of pounds to help us complete their clothing packs?

👟🧦 Every penny makes a difference.
Today, Kate is running the Yorkshire Marathon, and every donation she raises will go directly to helping children in Coventry living in poverty.

Let’s make sure no child goes without the basics this winter. 💙
