DO you know someone who deserves a pick-me-up?

The Co-op wants to help support friends and neighbours in our Thurrock community to help raise awareness on the importance of mental health. The Co-op is offering to send free pick-me-up packs to people in the borough in support of the forthcoming Mental Health Awareness Week (9–15 May).

Share the love and nominate someone for a free pick-me-up pack containing Fairtrade chocolate, a candle, mindfulness journal and a seed card that can be planted.

To nominate a friend or family member to receive a free pick-me-up pack email [email protected] with their name and address and put Pick-me-up pack in the subject line.

Brighten up someone's day by nominating them to receive this thoughtful free gift. Show them someone cares and help to make sure no-one feels alone. Nominate now while the packs are still available.

One in four people experiences a mental health problem in any one year.

That's why Co-op is working with its charity partners, Mind, the Scottish Association for Mental Health (SAMH) and Inspire to bring communities together to improve mental health and wellbeing.

Co-op's goal is to raise £8 million to bring communities together and improve mental wellbeing. If you'd like to help you can donate online at: Co-op partnership - JustGiving or scan the QR code below to donate.
