Reset, Recharge and Rebuild for Rethink

By John Spriggs-Taylor

I'm fundraising for Rethink Mental Illness!

Rethink Mental Illness does incredible work in providing support, information, and advocacy for people living with mental illness.

By fundraising for them, I'm helping to ensure that vital services are available to those who need them most.

Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those affected by mental illness.

Thank you for your support - it means a lot!

Celebrate all the great things you do everyday. Enjoy

yourself in troubled times. Reset, Recharge and Rebuild for Rethink. It means a lot and you are unique.

Grow your Resilience and we hope you can share some

with us today to help address the many, many challenges our people are facing. All those currently

affected by mental illness are in need of hope, . Please ask yourself  ‘ what am I doing today in preparation for when I too am affected or disabled by mental illness?’ Thank you.

A Kind Act is all we Need Right Now

Saturday 23rd Aug
Now is Now and it seems anger is everywhere.  We are all stronger together yet divisive elements seem intent on tearing us apart? How can this be happening in 2025? We need to stand up and do the things that matter and as a recent Rethink poster says ‘ We all deserve a Community that Cares’  Look after your mental health and take a break from news if it gets overwhelming. Like the Oxygen Mask example on an aircraft when turbulence hits. You’ve got to help yourself first in order
to be strong enough to help others. Speak to those you trust and don’t be afraid to raise difficult questions with them. It’s
unlikely others haven’t faced similar issues at some time even
if now we seem to be hit with problem after problem with very
little time to reflect and deflect when we are so busy struggling to care for others and ourselves. We know that volunteering for charities like Rethink brings massive mental health benefits. It can enhance your feelings of being valued.
It can boost your self esteem and empower you to confront and challenge stigma.  It also brings us all closer together.
Thank you for reading and here’s another poster courtesy of
Peawee and emphasising we all have important roles to play.
We are turning awareness into action every day we try to see
other points of view and build bridges not walls. Difficult as it
it is to face up to those shouting loudly right now, surely 
Hate and Intolerance cannot go on for long before more people
are able to see that kindness matters more, kind acts are remembered and appreciated. Be Kind. Be Kind. Be Kind.

You plonker John. I’m Peawee a Square Pea and you’ve made me round.

It’s true things are not going well but we are still together, just. You’ve also made blue again will they ever forgive you for that…. Probably not… but they Can’t supply with any toilet rolls anyway. Oh stop going on about toilet rolls. All you ever think about are toilet rolls, toilet rolls, toilet rolls…. What about me…. You don’t think about me do you… Not one tin of peas John… no peas… I told you I was trying with the Co-oP for peas…. Look how that turned out… They had a major breakdown yesterday..what about my peas, it could have been the peas or cyber terrorism or something…. What’s that… nothing to worry about Peawee just causes people to panic and go out and buy 5 years of toilet rolls….. there you go back to toilet rolls, you ask everyone for toilet rolls and what about my peas…. I’m tired about this as much as you Peawee but what can I do? STOP with the TOILET ROLLS and think about MY PEAS. I’ve never seen or heard you like this Peawee… you are Peawee a kind pea…. I was until I met you…. You’ve pushed me too far now , too far John… please Peawee don’t end it now… we’ve already been through so much…… Peawee …. Peawee….. please Peawee …. It’ll be ok. Now is Now…… Next Time is Next Time…

Look I say. New poster and a QR that works.

Here’s the thing. Book a cinema..try to fill it IN TWO WEEKS. THAT’s GOT TO BE EASY💚

Thursday 1st May
So who wants to soak me in cold water. We’ve got two weeks to fill cinema 2 at Quad, Derby 15th May for Perfect Days. Your Challenge is to stop me being sectioned for being so daft as to think this was going to be EASY PEASY. Peawee may look happy but we are having a right domestic about this and it could break our relationship. No buckets, no ice, no towels, no people, no publicity, no ticket sales, no toilet rolls, no support from you know who, AND no tins of peas! Oh give it rest Peawee…..We’ve still got 2 weeks and this is happening despite everything AND if it’s the last thing I do. OK Peawee is sure it will be and wants out of our relationship ASAP. Oh dear, what a pity, never mind. Now is Now💚
