LAST REVIEWED 14 February 2025
Often, it’s the little things we do that make the biggest difference – and this is certainly true when it comes to looking after our own mental health and the mental wellbeing of others. Checking in with a friend or relative with a quick text or phone call; holding the door open for someone else to pass through; stopping to help a visitor with directions – these little actions you take can not only brighten someone else’s day – they can also give you a mental boost!

Launched by the Mayor of London in September 2019 and led by ThriveLDN, the citywide #ZeroSuicideLDN campaign has now supported more than 400,000 people across the capital to access free, online suicide prevention training – equipping them with the skills they may need to help someone in crisis.
Statement on violent disorder
News|
LAST REVIEWED 7 August 2024
The racist violence which is taking place across the UK is profoundly shocking and distressing. There is no place in our society for the violence, racism and Islamophobia that we have been witnessing. We know that these events are causing real distress and anxiety for many people across London, particularly those from racialised and minoritised communities. Nobody’s mental health and wellbeing should suffer because of who they are or where they live.
