The theme of this year's Mental Health Awareness Week (9th- 15th May) is loneliness.

Feeling lonely is something that all of us can experience at any point in our lives, which can have negative impacts on our health and wellbeing.

There are lots of simple actions that you can do to help others who may be feeling lonely, including:

- Giving a friend or family member a call or text 📞
- Inviting someone for a walk 👟
- Reaching out to a friend for a cuppa ☕

You might find that reaching out to someone else could help you to feel less lonely too.

It's Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Week during 25 Apr- 1 May. MS is a chronic illness that effects more than 130,000 people in the UK. It effects your brain and spinal cord. In MS, the coating that protects your nerves (myelin) is damaged.
