Togetherall, (formerly Big White Wall), is available 24/7 and monitored by trained mental health professionals. A safe place online to get things off your chest, have conversations, express yourself creatively and learn how to manage your mental health.

Within Togetherall, members are anonymous, so no one will know you’re using it unless you tell them. Most members report feeling better and more able to cope as a result of using the service and because it’s available 24/7, nearly 70% use Togetherall outside of normal working hours.

· Clinically managed with trained professionals available 24/7/365 to keep the community safe

Catterick: Veterans At Ease



Lesley is one of our amazing volunteers, and a huge advocate for Veterans At Ease, she also runs a collection hub for us in Catterick Garrison… from her own home!!


Veteran's at Ease are a Mental Health Charity, committed to helping Veterans, Reservists, Serving Military Personnel and their families deal with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and other combat stress-related issues. We will help anyone who feels they need our support whether they have been diagnosed with PTSD or not.
We provide free therapy and support through a technique called NLP by our trained therapists (all of whom have suffered themselves, been through treatment with Veterans at Ease and then gone on to qualify).

Scotland: NHS Fife

All children in Scotland aged 2 years and over can get vaccinated against flu using a simple, pain-free nasal spray.

Not only does the vaccine help protect the child against flu, it also reduces the risk of passing the virus to others.

NHS Scotland: How does your weekly drinking add up?

It's recommended that you don't drink more than 14 units of alcohol a week, spread out over at least 3 days, to keep the risks from alcohol low. This is the same for both men and women.

But what does that look like for you?

Sticking to a maximum of 14 units of alcohol per week can reduce the risk of health issues, such as breast, mouth and throat cancer. 

Find out how your drinking adds up at count14.scot
