Mental Health Awareness Week

Mental Health Awareness Week

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week, an annual event run by The Mental Health Foundation. The theme for 2020 is kindness.

Mental health problems can affect anyone, at any time. Lingwood Security Management believe that mental health is everyone’s business, which is why we wholeheartedly support this campaign each year.

Since the first Mental Health Awareness Week in 2001, the campaign has raised awareness of topics like body image, stress and relationships. The campaign reaches millions of people every year.

Mental Health Awareness Week

Why kindness?

The world is an uncertain place right now. In the grip of a pandemic that is completely different to anything we have experienced before. One thing the Foundation believes is that kindness is prevailing in uncertain times; amid the fear, there is also community, support and hope.

The added benefit of helping others is that it is good for our own mental health and wellbeing. It can help reduce stress and improve your emotional wellbeing.

Life expectancy is falling for the poorest for the first time in 100 years. As child poverty rises, children and young people in the poorest parts of our country are two to three times more likely to experience poor mental health than those in the richest. 

After the 2008 credit crunch it was the most vulnerable in our communities who experienced the severest consequences of austerity, with devastating effects on their mental and physical health. This not the hallmark of a kind society. 

Kindness could transform our schools, places of work, communities and families. Let’s shape a society that tips the balance in favour of good mental health, for all of us, but especially for those who are most vulnerable.

Thank you for helping out at Carlisle Kingmoor HOOB a couple of weeks ago when the gates failed – really good prompt service!
Gemma Mullin Network Rail Works Delivery Co-ordinator, Lancs & Cumbria
The guards are always on time, polite and carry out their duties to a high standard, even leaving the cabins mopped and sanitized to keep our site working. We have frequent visits by the company management and a good line of commutation with Summer. I will definitely be using Lingwood Security again and have recommended them to my colleagues.

First off may I express my satisfaction with the excellent work the cleaners have done at Stonepit quarry. The areas they cleaned are sparkling and they have put in a good shift. The second thing I’d like to express is our happiness with the daytime security guard we have had this week. The guy has performed very well indeed and deserves praise as such.

The security guard turned up in plenty of time, and he was really helpful and looked after our site for us well. The festival went really well. Even though we all got soaked at the end when we were packing up.

I am the Site SHEQ Manager for the National Grid House in Warwick where we have your Guards on site. I would just like to say that we have had a very positive experience with your guards and will be looking to employ them on future sites should there be a requirement. Two Guards in particular have been extremely helpful and carried out their duties with tenacity and followed company procedures to the letter. I must add that these two guards are a credit to Lingwood and promote a very positive image of the level of service that your company provides. I would therefore seek to hire these guys again should the opportunity arise.

Having used Lingwood Security Management Ltd for a number of years on site projects across the country, I am continually impressed by the excellent and reliable service they provide. The phone is answered immediately and everyone I have dealt with has been friendly, professional and on-the-ball. They are always willing to bend over backwards to supply security solutions even at a moment’s notice. I would highly recommend Lingwood Security, and look forward to working with them on future projects.

I was completely satisfied with the service your men provided whilst working on our site in Bournville. WPD have strict rules and procedures for obvious reasons and your men adapted to them accordingly whilst maintaining a professional outlook. Look forward to working with you again in the near future.
