It's so important to talk. Thanks for these powerful words @GeorgeRussell63.

It's also important that when we do talk, the support we need is there. That's why Mind is fighting for better, for everyone with a mental health problem 💙 #InternationalMensDay pic.twitter.com/WdepLTfI8r

Today is #InternationalMensDay, so we're celebrating a special donor - 85-year-old Hadley who has been donating blood since he turned 18 after he saw an advert in the paper calling for donors. 🩸

Thanks to Hadley, hundreds of people have had their lives saved or improved. ❤️ pic.twitter.com/dhCYvAcKLy
