 Mental Health Awareness Week campaign - ‘Make the first move for your mental health’

 

A quick reminder that it is Mental Health Awareness Week (MHAW) and that Better Health - Every Mind Matters (EMM) has a wealth of digital, social and printed resources to support this year’s theme of anxiety on the Campaign Resource Centre.

 

In particular we are focusing over the next couple of weeks, on how regular physical activity can have an significant impact on reducing the symptoms of anxiety and improving mental wellbeing. We have enlisted celebrities NHS Dr. Ranj Singh, comedian Tom Davis, and DJ Reece Parkinson to encourage people to ‘make the first move for your mental health’ using NHS-approved Couch to 5k or Active 10 apps to help make starting physical activity a little less challenging.

 

There is a MHAW toolkit full of social content and copy, editable posters & digital screens conversation starters and posters to order, and more.

 

In addition the PR campaign will encourage people to sign up to EMM’s anxiety easing emails, or take the Mind Plan quiz, offering expert advice to help you stay on top of your mental wellbeing and showing you how to make these new steps part of your routine.

 

For related e-learning, these free bite-sized introductions to mental health and wellbeing and physical activity include key evidence, data and signposting.

 

Go to the Campaign Resource Centre and help get more people to make the first move for their mental health.

Published July 2025 (data correct as at 2024/25) Skills for Care have launched their annual report on the size and structure of ythe care workforce This provides the most up-to-date and comprehensive overview of the size and structure of the adult social care sector and workforce in England. A short, written report is available: download a copy of the report here. The methodology for this year’s report has changed from previous years. Adult social care related roles employed by the NHS are no longer included in the headline statistics for the size of the adult social care workforce. This change has been applied retrospectively to previous years, so the trends in this report are consistent. Comparing figures from this report to previous reports will not produce a valid trend. Also, our estimates for the number of filled posts in the independent sector now come from our automated data pipeline. This has resulted in substantial improvements to our estimates over time and some figures have changed as a result from previous versions of this report. For further information, see our statement.  To download the data behind the visualisation below, including trended information, please see the Workforce estimates page.
