We're super excited to tell you all that we have launched a partnership with Shout UK Endo Buddies has partnered with Shout to offer support to people living with Endometriosis and who need support with their mental health. Living with Endometriosis can be so difficult at times so we think it's important to know that there is support out there for you at any time of the day and night. To start a conversation, simply text ‘ENDO’ to 85258, at any time of day or night. Shout is a free and confidential text support service, available 24/7 for anyone in the UK who is struggling to cope. Shout’s trained volunteers are available around the clock to listen and support anyone feeling anxious, isolated, overwhelmed or suicidal. The service is anonymous and does not show up on phone bills. If your life is at imminent risk, call the emergency services on 999. #endometriosis #mentalhealth #wellbeingatwork

🐾 Cleo’s Ready for her Cheerleader Duties! 🐾 Cleo is all set to cheer on our team next week as they gear up for a 32-mile charity cycle on the south side of the Isle of Bute! 🏅 Taking place next Thursday (29th August), our team is tuning up their bikes and stretching those joints to support two incredible causes close to our hearts: Mental Health Innovations and Second Chance Dog Rescue. 🧠 Mental Health Innovations runs Shout UK, a free 24/7 text support service that has assisted over 450,000 people in managing anxiety, stress, and more. Their work is absolutely vital, especially in these challenging times. Below, you can see Cleo proudly showing her support for this cause in her stylish top! 🐶 Second Chance Dog Rescue is a UK-based non-profit committed to giving dogs like Cleo a second chance at life. With operations in the UK, The Balkans, and Egypt, they rescue dogs from abuse and bring them to loving forever homes. Their mission also includes neutering as many dogs as possible each month to break the cycle of suffering. However, they can’t do it alone. Second Chance relies entirely on donations to cover the costs of vet care, rehabilitation, and kennel bills. That’s why our team is rallying behind this cause, fundraising to support their critical work. We are incredibly grateful for all the support we’ve received so far. There’s still time to contribute to these amazing causes!

Join Shout Clinical Director Sarah Kendrick and two of our Shout Volunteers on #WorldSuicidePreventionDay, Tuesday 10 September at 12pm to learn how you can support someone who is struggling with suicidal thoughts. The theme of World Suicide Prevention Day this year is ‘Changing the narrative around suicide’, so we’re going to set about changing the part of the old narrative that says suicide shouldn’t be talked about. Because talking about suicide is how we help prevent it. Sign up: https://lnkd.in/etC9afNX

"When I started volunteering not only did I find myself helping people, as I had wanted to do, but it gave me a sense of worth that had been missing for some time. I will never stop volunteering for Shout because the knowledge and experience I have already gained is priceless." As one of Shout’s very first volunteers, Angus has given more than 1,000 hours of mental health support to hundreds of children, young people and adults across the UK. If you're thinking about becoming a Shout Volunteer but want to know more about what it would be like, we are running two webinars on 3 September at 12pm and 7pm, explaining all the ins and outs of volunteering.
