Looking for a way to boost your mood, get outdoors, and meet new people? 🌿

Join our weekly gardening group in Frimley. Spending time in the fresh air and green spaces can really lift your mood, while helping you stay active and connect with others in a relaxed, welcoming environment.

Across the seasons, you’ll have the chance to get involved in a variety of hands-on gardening activities from growing vegetables and herbs to tending fruit plants along with creative and practical tasks.

We’d also like to share a big thank you from everyone at our Flourish Community Garden to Tom and Terry from Camberley and District Men’s Shed for restoring our old, worn-out garden bench. It’s been given a new lease of life and looks fantastic, we’re so grateful for your support!

No experience needed, just come along and give it a try!

A little reminder for today 💚

You don’t need to have everything figured out.
You don’t need to do it all at once.

Sometimes, the smallest steps are the most important ones.

Take a breath.
Take a pause.
Take things one moment at a time.

Send this to someone who needs to hear it 💌

Support is available here in Surrey, visit our website for more information — link in bio.

On 26 April, our amazing volunteer Simon Mooney is taking on the London Marathon MyWay to raise funds for Catalyst Support 💙

Unlike the traditional marathon, Simon will be running the full distance without closed roads, water stations or cheering crowds — navigating everything from pedestrians to cyclists along the way. His journey will take him from Hampton Court, following the Thames Path all the way into London!

Simon dedicates his time each week to supporting our community connections service, helping raise awareness across GP surgeries in Surrey — and now he’s going the extra mile (literally!) to support our work.

👏 Join us in wishing Simon the very best of luck, we couldn’t be prouder!

If you’d like to support Simon, you can donate here:

Stress is something we all experience… but when it becomes overwhelming, it can affect both our mental and physical wellbeing. The good news is: you’re not alone and support is available.

💭 Here are a few simple ways to manage stress:

• Take a moment to pause and breathe deeply
• Break tasks into smaller, manageable steps
• Stay connected — talk to someone you trust
• Make time for rest and activities you enjoy
• Be kind to yourself — you don’t have to do everything at once

✨ Remember: It’s okay to ask for help. Reaching out is a strong and positive step forward.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, support is available right here in Surrey.

We have some exciting news to share about the Shifa Network.

Shifa has been a wonderful part of the Catalyst Support family, providing a safe, friendly and culturally sensitive space for ethnically diverse women in Surrey to build their confidence, wellbeing and independence. From ESOL classes to yoga to one-to-one support, the team has made a real and lasting difference to many women's lives.

We're delighted to share that Shifa is now moving forward as its own Community Interest Company (CIC) - a step that reflects the team's incredible dedication and their deep roots in the community they serve.

Shifa services will be temporarily paused from 1 April while the new organisation gets set up. Everyone currently supported by Shifa is being contacted directly.

We're so proud of everything Shifa has achieved and we're cheering them on every step of the way.

With World Bipolar Day approaching, we’re taking a moment to challenge some of the common myths around bipolar disorder.

Misunderstandings and stereotypes can make it harder for people to talk openly about their experiences or seek support.

The reality is that bipolar disorder is a complex mental health condition and everyone’s experience is different.

By learning more and challenging these misconceptions, we can help create communities that are more understanding, supportive and inclusive.

If you or someone you care about is struggling with their mental health, support is available here in Surrey.

This week is Neurodiversity Celebration Week 🧠✨

It’s a chance to recognise and celebrate the many different ways our brains work.

Around 1 in 7 people in the UK are neurodivergent, yet many myths and misunderstandings still exist. These misconceptions can lead to stigma, lack of support and people feeling misunderstood.

Neurodiversity reminds us that there is no single “right” way for a brain to work. Different ways of thinking, learning and experiencing the world are a natural part of human diversity.

By raising awareness and encouraging open conversations across Surrey, we can help create communities where everyone feels understood, supported and valued.

This Neurodiversity Celebration Week, let’s continue to:

✨ Challenge myths
✨ Reduce stigma
✨ Celebrate different ways of thinking

💬 What’s something you’ve learned about neurodiversity?

💚 Follow us for more mental health discussions

University Mental Health Day is tomorrow 💚

It’s a moment to pause and think about how we can better support student mental wellbeing across Surrey. Whether you're a student, friend, parent or educator, small actions can make a big difference.

Tomorrow, you could:

✔ Check in with a friend or course mate
✔ Take a break to prioritise your own wellbeing
✔ Start an open conversation about mental health
✔ Share support services available in Surrey

Talking about mental health helps break stigma and reminds people they are not alone.

If you’re a student in Surrey and need support, there are local services and communities ready to help.

💬 What will you do tomorrow for University Mental Health Day?
