The People’s Health Trust has released a report calling for mental health support for staff of local charities managing the aftermath of last summer’s riots. Take a look here.

I encourage you to explore the guide, not because every aspect may directly resonate with you, but because, from my experience, we often share more in common as individuals than we might initially recognise. With that perspective, I believe there is something within this guide that will connect with you on a meaningful level.
Please feel free to share with your SU’s and patients.
The UK Health Security Agency have extensive guidance and materials for supporting communities, including:
- Hot weather toolkit here
- Voluntary and community sector action card
- Beat the Heat hot weather advice
- An infographic and social media images here
- Keep up to date with Heat-Health Alerts
You can find a map of Cool Spaces across London here, and register your own too.
The Met Office’s #WeatherReady campaign also has lots of advice and guidance.

Over the years, the Community Link Advisors have developed a strong and collaborative relationship with the communities of Hammersmith & Fulham, as well as with the various external services and organisations supporting the borough. Your ongoing support has been instrumental in enhancing the experiences of our service users, helping to make their journeys more manageable. We deeply appreciate the invaluable contributions you have made over the years. While our service plays a vital role in their support network, it is only one part of a much larger system of care. It is the collective efforts of communities and services like yours that provide the continuity and stability needed for individuals to progress in their wellbeing journey.
I’m pleased to share with you our workshop timetable for June. These interactive and informative sessions are led by my colleague and me.
I’ve also included links to this month’s mental health tips:

The world you experience—your personal reality—is shaped by your perceptions, thoughts, and emotions. In many ways, your external world and your internal experience (or what we might call your “field of being”) are deeply interconnected. As Carl Jung once noted, “There’s no difference between you and what you experience,” highlighting how our inner world influences how we interpret and respond to the outer world. When facing challenges, it can be helpful to ask: Are these difficulties rooted in the external, objective world, or do they arise within my internal experience? Reflecting on this distinction can offer valuable insight and support emotional self-awareness and growth. Read on

“The Breaking Point report published by Fair Collective paints a stark picture of the mental health crisis sweeping through the charity sector. The findings are disturbing: 85% of leaders in small charities report struggling with poor mental health, with a shocking 20% suffering from burnout so severe that it’s affecting their personal lives and professional effectiveness. In some cases, the stress of their roles has led to suicidal thoughts…” Read more here.
