This is Mental Health Awareness Week, the UK’s national week to raise awareness of mental health.

This year the theme is Nature and how connecting with the natural world can support good mental health.

The week, which is hosted by the Mental Health Foundation, is in its 21st year and runs from 10th-16th May.

Across the country, people will be celebrating the mental health benefits of being around nature in their local community in a range of digital and creative ways.
