A fantastic day of golf, fundraising and coming together for great causes, 18/09/2026 💚 We were delighted to take part and be supported by @PGL_Pipelines at their Memorial Charity Golf Day, held in memory of Philip Ling and raising funds for Compassion in Action and Mind. A huge thank you to everyone at @PGL_Pipelines and everyone who took past for their incredible support and generosity. It means so much to us and helps us to continue the work we do in our community. And it wouldn’t be a golf day without a little unexpected visitor making an appearance. 🦊 Thank you, @PGL_Pipelines ⛳️ #GolfDay #Mind #CIA #Fundraising #PhilipLing

💜Suicide Prevention Month Sometimes the people who need support the most are the ones who find it hardest to ask for it. This Suicide Prevention Month, we want to remind you that you don’t have to face things alone. If you’re struggling with your mental health, feeling overwhelmed, or simply feel like you’re not yourself, support is available. 🌱 You can self-refer to our service — you don’t need to wait for someone else to do it for you. Taking that first step can feel difficult, but reaching out is a sign of strength, not weakness. Let’s keep talking, keep checking in, and keep reminding each other that support is there.💜 📞To self refer contact - 01942 418830 #SuicidePreventionMonth #MentalHealthMatters #YouAreNotAlone #ItsOkayToAskForHelp #MentalHealthSupport
