SOCIAL MEDIA REACH

We want to challenge ‘back to normal' and look at the mental health and well-being of our nation.

Having endured so much change, the nation is at a mental health crossroad with the media telling us how everything is going ‘back to normal’.

 

We are challenging this and opening up about how everything is not the same. The negatives and the positives, what we have been through, what we are facing, and what people are now willing and more importantly, able to do.

 

We need your help to determine the mindset of a nation - your mental health and wellbeing, exploring how your volunteering experiences have been impacted by Covid and multiple lockdowns.

 

Take part in our surveys: 

Mental Health and Wellbeing survey

Volunteering through and beyond a pandemic survey

 

Chaired by Paul Reddish, Chief Executive, Volunteering Matters with thought leaders and expert speakers from 

Groop, Sported, Coventry City Council, The Positive PitStop Podcast, Mental Health UK, and Creative Youth Network. 

 

Expect highs and lows, poetry, and some real take-away actions you can put into place in life and your organisations and communities.
