Breast Cancer Awareness Month 🎗️ 💗

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness, encourage regular breast checking, and support those affected by breast cancer. Breast cancer can affect anyone, and knowing what is normal for you can help you spot any unusual changes early.

Take a moment this month to:
💗 Check your breasts regularly
💗 Learn about the signs and symptoms of breast cancer
💗 Encourage friends and family to do the same
💗 Show support for those living with or affected by breast cancer

If you notice a change that is new or unusual for you, contact your GP. Early awareness can make a difference.

💙 Celebrating Children of Foster Carers Week 2026 💙

This week, Foster for East Midlands Councils is proud to support Children of Foster Carers' Week (12 to 18 Oct), celebrating the incredible children and young people who play such an important role in fostering families.

By sharing their homes, time and kindness, children of foster carers help children in care feel welcome, safe, valued and part of the family. Their support and understanding make a real difference every day.

Throughout the week, we'll be sharing messages of support and celebrating the vital contribution children of foster carers make to helping children and young people feel safe, welcomed and valued.

To every child and young person in a fostering family across the East Midlands: thank you. Your compassion, patience and support help change lives. 💙

It's National Hate Crime Awareness Week

It can be verbal abuse, online harassment, vandalism, or physical violence. It's never the victim's fault, and it's always worth reporting. You don't need to prove the motive.

If a witness, or even a police officer, believed it was hate-related, that's enough.

Today is World Mental Health Day! 🌍💜

It's a day to remind ourselves that mental health matters, and that every conversation can make a difference.

This year, we're encouraging everyone to do one simple thing: take time to talk and really listen.

Listening helps people feel understood, supported and less alone. It also helps us learn from people's experiences and better protect mental health.

Whether it's a friend, family member, colleague or neighbour, today is a chance to check in, make space for conversation, and listen to what really matters.

Because every conversation matters. 💜

It's tomorrow – a day to talk, listen, and support good mental health together. 🌍💜

Conversations about mental health matter. They're not about the perfect words, or "fixing" things. They're about openness, connection, and truly listening to understand.

What do you want to talk about this World Mental Health Day? 💬

💚 World Mental Health Day 2026 💚
Everyone deserves to have good mental health.

As parents and carers, life can feel busy, challenging, and sometimes overwhelming. Supporting a child or young person's emotional wellbeing while managing your own can be a lot to carry.
This World Mental Health Day, we're encouraging families to take a moment to talk, listen and connect. Every young person deserves to feel heard, understood, and supported, and the same is true for parents and carers.
Sometimes the smallest conversation can make the biggest difference.

Get in touch to find out what support is available for you around mental health.
