A safe space to call home is so important, but so is learning to find that feeling within yourself. Home isn’t just a place, it’s a feeling of safety, comfort and belonging 🤍

Thankful for these thought cards that were gifted to me by a much loved & missed friend 😇🪽

What are you feeling grateful for today?

I am feeling grateful for the print I was gifted by the lovely Andy - Randalls at . The Barras always feels like home 👌

Don’t forget to look up, take a big breath in, and an even bigger sigh out. ♥️

Let the moon remind you to slow down, breathe deeply, and find a little magic in the moment. 🌕✨

Why is su***de prevention important to us?

Because in Bedford, we see the impact of people falling between services.

⭐️ For adults experiencing emotional distress or suicidal thoughts, navigating the support system can feel like childhood games turning into a real-life nightmare.

👉 ‘Piggy in the Middle’

One service says someone doesn’t meet its criteria and refers them elsewhere. The next service says the same thing, sending them back around in circles.

The result? Exhaustion and diminishing hope.

👉 ‘Snakes and Ladders’

Trying to find community support outside the NHS can feel like a game with no clear rules. Information can be outdated, services can be difficult to navigate, and some environments may not provide the therapeutic support people need.

The result? Feeling like you’ve taken one step forward & then two steps back.

💛 Su***de prevention matters because people deserve to be met with understanding, connection and support, not left navigating a maze of services when they are already struggling.

🪴 Do you want to be part of a team to support advocacy in Bedford?

We are looking for people that are equally passionate to support Not Everything Sucks CIC. I will be posting more about this on our next post!

Our mission is to be a community that supports a better quality of life & joy in Bedford.

For many people winter, can be a challenging time for both physical and mental health.

That’s why the group walks continue throughout the cold and darker months. We recommend you come appropriately dressed to keep warm & dry!

Just remember that it’s temporary and before you know it we will be walking alongside the daffodils & tulips again. 🔅

Sadly this happens all too often across the UK. We as a CIC are committed to improve knowledge of our local services in Bedford :
- How to access them
- What to do when it’s not working out well
- Confidence and ownership of individuals mental health recovery

It’s been a week since the installation at Abbey Bridge had come to an end.

Question - what would you like to see in Bedford public spaces that engages with the local communities mental health?
