World Mental Health Day takes place on Sunday 10th October, so we\u2019ve teamed up with Bryony Gordon and Frankie Rose Illustration to create an exclusive collection of positive affirmation cards.\u00a0<\/p>

The affirmations were written by Bryony and beautifully brought to life by illustrator Frankie Rose, with 100% of the profits going to the Community Programme founded by Bryony; Mental Health Mates. The cards include a QR code on the back, which recipients can scan to find out more about our partnership and it also features tools to help improve mental wellbeing.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Receiving a greetings card lets us know that someone is looking out for our mental wellbeing, and it puts a smile on our faces.\u00a0<\/span>Bryony comments: \u2018Physical cards are so important, I used to receive them from my friend Fearne during lockdown, when she would write to me just for the hell of it, and it meant so much when it dropped onto the mat, even though we are in constant contact on WhatsApp! It\u2019s easy to forget the stuff that is good for us and harder to retain it. I think affirmations are brilliant and important reminders of the things that make us feel good about ourselves. Reading an affirmation can really help us put positive behaviours into action.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
