Our CEO, Alex Wilson was delighted to receive a cheque for an impressive £15,000 from Jack Gebhard, Mayor of Morpeth for 2018-2019, who nominated us as his chosen charity of the year. Some of the money raised will go to support our Supporting Families project in Northumberland. Alex said: "This is such an amazing effort by Jack and his Team who have organised so many fundraising events over the year. Supporting people with mental health is close to his heart and we are so grateful for him supporting us last year. This amount is the highest ever raised by a Morpeth Mayor"

This #MindfulMonday, why not try the simple 7/11 breathing exercise below:
- Place your hand on your upper abdomen near your waist - Inhale slowly and deeply through your nose. Keep your shoulders relaxed. Your abdomen should rise rather than your chest. - Count to 7 as you breath in.... - Exhale slowly through your mouth, counting to 11. - As you are exhaling purse your lips slightly and relax your jaw – you should hear a whooshing noise. - Repeat as often as you need to.
