🎄 Christmas 2025 🎄

The festive season can be joyful, but it can also be tough.

With busy schedules, rising costs, and extra pressures, it’s important to remember that you matter – and your wellbeing matters too. 💖 Take things at your own pace. You don’t need to do everything or keep up with everyone else. 💫

Even small moments can make a real difference — stepping outside for some fresh air 🌬️, sitting quietly for a few minutes 🧘‍♀️, or having a chat with a friend or neighbour 🗣️.

If things feel overwhelming, it’s okay to reach out. Support is available, and you don’t have to face difficult times alone. 🤝
