Beat the Blue Monday blues – do something great for your community

This is your official 3-day warning: Blue Monday is looming large on your calendar!

Thankfully, a very quick search will tell you Blue Monday’s a bit of a marketing myth – but if your body’s ignoring your brain on this one, we’ve got a handy solution that’s actually backed by science. If you don’t believe us, here’s a recent peer-reviewed academic paper! Scientists said that

If we’ve got you convinced, then prepare yourself for Blue Monday (fake) by taking up the mental-health boosting act of volunteering (real) and get in touch. We’ve always got room for more volunteers, and we’ve definitely got room for more food!
