Are you struggling with mental health this holiday season?
23 December 2025
Reach Mental Health Alliance have created this fantastic leaflet containing loads of information about meals, safe spaces, church services, volunteering opportunities, and wellbeing helplines for anyone needing support over the holiday season.
"We have done our best to include as much information as we can regarding what support is available in the local area across the 2025 festive season – it turns out there’s a lot!"
There are many links in the document to places offering Christmas meals or shelter over the holiday period, so if you can't open it or are on a mobile phone, this page lists most of them:
