Headspace has made available an enhanced free package called ‘Weathering the Storm’ with more meditations, movement exercises and sleep music to help through this difficult time, as well as links to further resources.

There are a lot of unknowns in the world right now and most of us are feeling anxious, restless, or isolated. To help support you through this challenging time, we’re offering a new collection of meditation, sleep, and movement exercises in the Headspace app called Weathering the storm. It’s a reminder that none of us are alone in this shared experience.

Find Weathering the storm on the Explore tab of your Headspace app and give your mind and body a break.

Volunteering With The Commonwealth War Graves Commission

 

We honour and care for the 1.7 million men and women of the Commonwealth forces who died in the First and Second World Wars, ensuring they will never be forgotten. Funded by six Member Governments, our work began with building, and now maintaining, cemeteries at 23,000 locations all over the world.

Today, over a century after we first began, our work continues through our staff, supporters and volunteers who preserve our unique cultural, horticultural and architectural heritage and ensure that the stories of those who died are told.

Think Brain Health


​Your brain is the most complex thing in the universe. Billions of cells working together to control your emotions, memories, movement and speech. It’s what makes you ... you.
But many of us take our brains for granted.

Just as we can protect other areas of our health, we can take steps to keep our brains healthy and reduce our risk of developing dementia later in life.

Think Brain Health is an ongoing celebration of everything our incredible brains do for us and a guide to the simple things we can do to protect them in return.

How well do you know your brain?
