Blue Monday is not real.

Every January we see headlines declaring one specific day as the most depressing of the year. It sounds scientific. It sounds helpful, it is neither!.

Blue Monday was created as a marketing concept, not a clinical insight. A formula designed to sell holidays, products and quick fixes. Yet it has somehow become embedded in how we talk about mental health.

And that is the problem.

📅 Mental health does not work on a calendar.
📈 Distress does not peak neatly on one Monday.
🧯 Anxiety, depression and burnout do not disappear on Tuesday.

By focusing attention on a single day, we unintentionally minimise the reality faced by people who struggle every day of the year, It turns something complex and deeply personal into a soundbite. It risks sending the message that if you are not struggling on Blue Monday, you should be fine.

At LAMP, we see the opposite. We support people whose mental health challenges are ongoing, fluctuating and often invisible. People who need understanding, patience and access to real support, not awareness tied to a marketing hook.

If Blue Monday starts a conversation, that is fine, but the conversation cannot end there.
Mental health deserves more than a headline, more than a gimmick, more than one day.

If this post resonates, check in on someone today, tomorrow, and next week too or get in touch

Huge respect to Steve Potter () 👏

Steve has already raised over £1,000 before taking on the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon 2026 in support of Lamp.

Every pound raised helps people reach our Information and Advice team at a time when they really need it. That first conversation can be the moment someone feels listened to, supported, and not alone.

Training, commitment, and generosity like this make a real difference to mental health support across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.

If you can, please support Steve and cheer him on

Thank you Steve. We are right behind you. 💜

Thinking about doing something unforgettable in 2026?

🪂 Jump out of a plane for mental health advocacy.

In 2026, we are inviting people to take on a skydive for Lamp.

The deal is simple.
💰 Raise £500.
💰 Pay just £50 for your jump.

Your £500 will help fund mental health advocacy and support for people across our communities who are struggling, often at the point they do not know where else to turn.

A skydive is not just about the adrenaline. It is about showing up for people who need someone in their corner. It is about turning one brave moment into real, practical support.

You do not need to be a thrill seeker. You just need to care.

If jumping from 13,000 feet is your way of giving back in 2026, we would love to have you involved.

Email Fundraising@LampDirect.org.uk for details on how it works.

A massive thank you to Becky Taylor ()for an extraordinary challenge in 2025.

Covering 2,025km over the year is a huge physical and mental achievement, and Becky turned that commitment into £1,251.20 raised for Lamp. That support will fund at least 69 information and advice contacts in 2026, reaching people at moments when they may feel overwhelmed, isolated, or unsure where to turn.

These conversations can be life changing. For many people, an information and advice contact is the first time they feel listened to, understood, and supported with their mental health.

We are incredibly thankful to Becky for the time, effort, and consistency it took to see this challenge through, and for choosing to support Lamp along the way.

If you are looking for a way to support Lamp in 2026, whether by setting yourself a challenge, fundraising, donating, or getting involved, every contribution helps us be there for more people.

A huge thank you to Elliott Valeting for raising an incredible £1,207.50 over the Christmas period.

That support will fund at least 67 information and advice contacts in 2026. Each one is a vital point of connection for someone struggling with their mental health. For many people, these conversations are the first step towards feeling heard, understood, and supported when things feel overwhelming.

We are really grateful, Elliott. Your effort and generosity will make a real difference to people who need it most.

Mental Health Needs a Voice. Not a Waiting List.

2025 showed the world what we already knew.

More people asking for help.
Longer waits.
Fewer clear answers.

For too many, support now means being placed on hold while life keeps moving.

At Lamp, we see the impact of that every day.
That is why our focus in 2026 is clear.

We exist to advocate.
🧏 To listen.
🗣️ To speak up.
🔊 To challenge systems that are not working for the people who need them most.

Because mental health should not depend on how long someone can wait.
This is more than a slogan. It is the work ahead.

As we head into Christmas, we just want to say thank you.

To everyone who has donated, fundraised, volunteered, shared our work, challenged broken systems, or quietly supported someone who needed help this year, we are deeply grateful.

Because of you, Lamp has been able to support people through some of their toughest moments. Your kindness, belief, and generosity make a real difference every single day.

Christmas can be a joyful time, but it can also be a difficult one. Please know that your support helps ensure people are not facing those moments alone.

From all of us at Lamp, we wish you a peaceful Christmas and a hopeful New Year. Thank you for standing with us, today and always.

Huge thanks to who has smashed her £1000 target as she enters the final leg of her epic 2025 challenge for

That is at least 56 people supported with initial contact to our Information and Advice Team, in some cases the most important call they’ll ever make and contact that can change their life forever.

Thank You Becky!! 💙

Around 11 million working days are lost each year in the UK because of stress, anxiety and depression. It highlights how many people are struggling quietly while trying to keep life and work on track.

As part of our 12 Days of Mental Health Support, we are shining a light on the real pressures people face and the difference early guidance can make.

At Lamp, £18 funds support for one person through our information and advice team. It gives someone clear direction at a time when they may feel overwhelmed or unsure of where to turn.

If you can, please support our work through our JustGiving page and help us reach more people who need someone in their corner.
