I know we’re getting close to the exam period, but there’s still a lot to look forward to—especially with World Mental Health Week coming up next week.
Wellbeing will be running an event at Ore Valley on the 12th May from 10:30am – 1:30pm, and I’m also organising a mental health trip that you’ll soon be able to sign up for.
