The third Monday of January has been awarded the gloomy name ‘Blue Monday’ due to a combination of post-festive blues and cold dark nights. At Touchstone, we’re challenging the title by asking our amazing service users, volunteers and staff what things they do to keep well.

Let’s turn this Blue Monday into a You Monday!
