⏰ Clocks go back this weekend – and as the nights draw in, some of us may start to feel the effects of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).

SAD is a type of depression that often begins in autumn and can make you feel low, tired, and less motivated.

🌞 Top tips to boost your mood:
✔ Get outside during daylight hours
✔ Stay active – even a short walk helps
✔ Keep connected with friends and family
✔ Explore self-help resources and support
