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.

 Everyone is stressed. Everyone has pressures. And it is hard to slow down in this fast-paced world. Welcome to the Army’s Mindfulness Course which has been available to serving Army personnel for some time, but it has now been opened up to a wider audience. Although this is an eight-week course, and it will be rolled out over eight weeks, it is designed so you can go at your own pace.​

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.
