In our theme of Hearts and Love this week - we asked some of the staff what do they love most about their job and this is what Lis had to say ♥️

"I love being able to talk with customers, learn about the events they’re planning, and help find the best resources to support them. I love it when a customer comes in for one item they've ordered and they end up leaving with four!"

🌟 Launching for Children’s Mental Health Week: The Survival Toolkit
This Children’s Mental Health Week (9–15 Feb), a brand‑new Survival Toolkit resource is launching to help teenagers in Leeds explore what supports them when life feels overwhelming.
Inspired by Leeds MindMate Ambassador Hope (age 20), the toolkit encourages young people to reflect on the small things that help on a difficult day — whether that’s moving their body, listening to a favourite song, or reaching out to someone they trust.
💬 “Through reflecting on the things that help me, I was able to learn more about myself – as I’m able to recognise why I may be struggling, what may have caused it and what is going to help with it.” — Hope
A survival toolkit can be anything:
📱 a notes page on a phone
📝 a journal
📦 or even a physical box of comforting objects
Every toolkit is unique — shaped by what each young person finds helpful.
Leeds City Council, MindMate and Time for Young People Leeds have transformed this popular online idea into an interactive resource that professionals can borrow.
Each toolkit includes:
▶️ A simple “how to” guide for running a session
▶️ A printed leaflet based on Hope’s original blog
Perfect for anyone working with teenagers across Leeds.
💚 Getting help
If a young person is struggling with their mental health, support is available:
🔗 MindMate: https://orlo.uk/702Xb
🔗 11–18 year olds can drop in to Time for Young People for free emotional wellbeing support, including help to create their own survival toolkit.
