The Mental Health Foundation started Mental Health Awareness Week 21 years ago and each year they set a theme as a point of discussion. It has grown to become one of the biggest awareness weeks across the UK and globally. This year's theme is Loneliness. One in four adults feel lonely some or all of the time. There’s no single cause and there’s no one solution. After all, we’re all different! But, the longer we feel lonely, the more we are at risk of mental health problems. Some people are also at a higher risk of feeling lonely than others. This year mentalhealth.org.uk is raising awareness of the impact of loneliness on our mental health and the practical steps we can take to address it. Internally, we will be posting on the topic of Mental Health in support of Mental Health Awareness Week. We also encourage you to donate to our chosen mental health charity - MIND. CMS will kindly match all employee donations. #IveBeenThere

On May 15th, one of our Vendor Managers, Matt will be raising money for Alzheimer's Research UK by completing the Outlaw Half Ironman triathlon. Matt is attempting to swim 1.9km, Bike 90km, and run 21.1km in one go. Matt is trying to raise as much money as possible to support a great cause. If you're not aware of #ARUK: Alzheimer's Research UK is the UK's leading Alzheimer's research charity aiming to defeat dementia. Over 850,000 people are currently living with dementia in the UK and that number is rapidly rising. At £26 billion each year, dementia costs the UK economy more than cancer and heart disease combined, but over two-thirds of the care for dementia patients is paid for by themselves or their families. £20 could fund one hour of vital research £50 could provide access to specialist equipment for studying cells £120 could support complex protein analysis £300 could pay for a genetic test to help identify risk genes Please donate - CMS will kindly match donations from CMS employees!
