January can be a difficult time for many people, and tomorrow is so-called ‘Blue Monday’.

There are many reasons why people may struggle this month, but it’s important to remember you are not alone.

If you, or someone you know, needs urgent help with mental health or is in crisis, call NHS 24 on 111.

If you just need to talk with someone, there is help available: The Samaritans are there 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. You can call them on 116 123 (freephone) or email: jo@samaritans.org.

Breathing Space offers a confidential phone line for anyone in Scotland feeling low, anxious or depressed. You can call free on 0800 83 85 87.

Each January, a certain Monday (tomorrow) carries a reputation for being the year’s most emotionally difficult day.

Known as Blue Monday, it’s often linked with low moods, depleted motivation, and a post-holiday slump.

If you’re feeling low on Blue Monday – or any day – you’re not alone and your local Parish Church is here to help.

We are open 7 days and have so many groups or events for you to connect with others. NEW Mens Social group coming soon (if you have any thoughts or suggestions to get us started, let us know)

If you need any help or info, please comment below or send us a private message….
