Today is a good day to check in on a friend, family member or colleague 💜 #TimeToTalk
Graphic with text: Tips for talking to someone about their mental health: Minimise distractions - Choose a place where people won’t interrupt. Make time - Make sure you have time to talk and don’t need to rush. Actively listen - E.g. use small gestures like nods to show you’re listening. Ask, don’t tell - Ask how you can help, rather than telling them what to do.

I am in need of a few metres of this lilac debris net for my Arts Council project. Scaffolders, please message me, I don't want to buy a 50 metre roll if I can help it. Huge thanks #Construction #architecture #debrisnet #scaffolders #lilac #reuse @ace_national @ConstructConnx

Piccadilly station Manchester, trying to get to London but the trains are late and cancelled. So so sad, the state of public transport so much for levelling up and green economy. #green #transport #rail #cancelled #levellingup #northernpowerhouse?????
