The Mental Shift

This year’s theme is 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 on Su***de. For us, that means making it easier to speak, listen and connect someone with support before crisis.

If this post brings anything up for you:

☎ Samaritans: 116 123
📱 Text SHOUT to 85258
☎ NHS: call 111 and select the mental health option
🧒 Under 19: Childline 0800 1111
🚨 If someone is in immediate danger, call 999

Support should arrive before crisis. No one should have to carry it alone.

We would like to say a 𝗠𝗔𝗦𝗦𝗜𝗩𝗘 ‘Thank You’ to Mr Elijah Skervin, our amazing Director and Business Development Manager! 🙏🏼

Elijah has dedicated the past 12-months to helping us provide early intervention support for young lads across Newcastle (and Leeds!). With his guidance, we have been able to increase capacity, push reach, and make a real difference.

Thank you! ❤️

It was amazing to meet the man himself, The Moston Strangler, Leo Evans last week!

Having sponsored Leo for quite awhile now, we made the time to pop down to Stealth BJJ in Oldham to find out more about 𝗟𝗲𝗼’𝘀 𝗷𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗠𝗠𝗔, his dedication to 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, and 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗱𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗵𝗶𝗺!

Leo is such an inspiration to the younger generation and we are proud to have him representing The Mental Shift CIC! ❤️
