💚 World Mental Health Day 💚

It’s okay not to be okay.
Be gentle with yourself.
Speak up, reach out, and remind someone they’re not alone.

Let’s break the stigma and be kind to our minds.

West Yorkshire never looked so punk 🤘

We loved attending the Riot Women premiere!

The new BBC drama from Sally Wainwright hits @bbciplayer.bsky.social BBC One on 12 Oct - five mid-life women form a punk band & rediscover their voices.

Huge thanks to the team for their generous donation to HVP!
