The survey is:

โœ… Open to anyone aged 18 or over
โœ… For people who live in Worcestershire

๐Ÿ’ป How can you take part?

You can complete the survey online at:

๐Ÿ“ž Contact the Parish Council office on 01564 823149 and we can go through the survey with you over the phone or, if preferred, in person.

๐Ÿ“„ Paper copies are also available for anyone who would prefer to complete the survey on paper. Please contact the Parish Council office to request a copy, which can then be completed and returned to the office.

๐Ÿ’š World Mental Health Day โ€“ 10 October 2026

This World Mental Health Day, weโ€™re recognising the 2026 campaign theme:

โ€œLived Experiences Heard: Real Voices, Real Changeโ€

Everyoneโ€™s experience of mental health is different. Listening to people who have experienced mental health challenges themselves can help us better understand what support is needed, challenge stigma and make sure peopleโ€™s voices are heard.

๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ Lived experience matters.

Whether itโ€™s a personal experience of mental ill health, supporting a family member or friend, or navigating mental health services, peopleโ€™s experiences can help shape better understanding, support and services.

As a community, we can all play a part by:

๐Ÿ’š Listening without judgement
๐Ÿ’š Making space for honest conversations
๐Ÿ’š Challenging stigma and misconceptions
๐Ÿ’š Checking in with friends, family and neighbours
๐Ÿ’š Supporting people to find help when they need it
๐Ÿ’š Valuing the voices and experiences of those with lived experience

Sometimes, simply listening and letting someone know that they are not alone can make a real difference.

This World Mental Health Day, let's make sure real voices are heard and lived experiences help create real change.

If you or someone you know is struggling, please remember that support is available. You can speak to your GP or contact a mental health support service.

โ˜Ž๏ธ Samaritans: 116 123 โ€“ free, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
