Remembering those who served.❤️ Our Community Cadets were honoured to welcome Keith Stott, who came in to deliver an insightful and meaningful talk about The Royal British Legion and Remembrance Day. It was a fantastic opportunity for our cadets to learn more about the importance of remembering those who made the ultimate sacrifice, the significance of Remembrance and why we must never forget. A huge thank you to Keith for taking the time to share his knowledge, experiences of working with The Royal British Legion and stories with our cadets. ❤️ We will remember them. #RemembranceDay #LestWeForget #CommunityCadets #WeWillRememberThem

Today is the day! 🚨

💜Suicide Prevention Month Sometimes the people who need support the most are the ones who find it hardest to ask for it. This Suicide Prevention Month, we want to remind you that you don’t have to face things alone. If you’re struggling with your mental health, feeling overwhelmed, or simply feel like you’re not yourself, support is available. 🌱 You can self-refer to our service — you don’t need to wait for someone else to do it for you. Taking that first step can feel difficult, but reaching out is a sign of strength, not weakness. Let’s keep talking, keep checking in, and keep reminding each other that support is there.💜 📞To self refer contact - 01942 418830 #SuicidePreventionMonth #MentalHealthMatters #YouAreNotAlone #ItsOkayToAskForHelp #MentalHealthSupport
