Are you suffering from addiction and don't know who to talk to? With support from KIKIT, Abdul turned his life around. We help vulnerable people in Manchester. Head to our website now for the advice you need. kikitproject.org

Hep C Testing Week Hep C can be passed on through blood-to-blood contact. This can happen when injecting equipment is shared, even if blood is not visible. Risk can also come from sharing items that may have blood on them, such as needles, razors and unsterilised tattoo equipment

“Just smoke or drink, you’ll forget about it” is not support. Drugs or alcohol can feel like a way to cope with stress, trauma or emotional pain. But numbing pain is not the same as healing. Support can help people understand what is underneath and take the first step to recovery

Mental Health Awareness Week 💚 Spiritual beliefs matter to many people, and faith can be an important source of strength. Faith, family, community and professional support can work together. You do not have to choose one over the other.

Mental Health Awareness Week 💚 “You need to man up” is not support. Many men are taught to hide what they are going through. But silence can make things harder, and struggling does not make someone weak. Asking for help is a sign of strength.

Mental Health Awareness Week 💚 “It's all in your head” is not support. Mental health is real. Stress, trauma, depression and anxiety can affect anyone, and dismissing someone’s experience can make it harder for them to speak up or ask for help.

Today, we recognise and thank nurses for the care, compassion and commitment they show every day. Nurses play a vital role in supporting individuals, families and communities — including people facing drug and alcohol, mental health, and wider health challenges.

Mental Health Awareness Week 💚 Too many individuals from ethnic minority communities still hear things like “man up”, “its all in your head”. For some people, drugs & alcohol can feel like a way to numb the pain or cope with deeper struggles. But you do not have to face it alone

We’re investigating how Britain First accessed Victoria Square today as this is a serious breach of security. This protest is incompatible with our commitments to equality, community cohesion & the promotion of British values. This is not what Birmingham & its citizens stand for.

🚚 Our crews have now collected over 11,000 tonnes of rubbish - roughly equivalent to 1,000 killer whales! ➡️ We know there's more to do and we will continue clearing the excess waste. Read more 1/2
