Day 3 of #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek 💚 I saw this post by murphys_sketches on Instagram and had to share. Not quite the season for scaries, but mental health can be scary regardless of the season. Remember to reach out if you feel you need help and as a supporter, always #BeKind .

#MentalHealthAwarenessWeek 💚 sometimes despite everything you do to lift your mood, you still have dark days and that’s ok. Thought I’d share these posts I’ve seen over the past day with details for organisations you can reach out to if you or someone you know is struggling.

It’s #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek again 💚 This year’s theme is moving more for our mental health. It’s difficult in the winter, but now summer is approaching, the benefits of going outside for a short walk are immeasurable. Tips to help you move more here: mentalhealth.org.uk/our-work/publi…

A lovely walk yesterday practicing for our Yorkshire 3 Peaks challenge for Day One Trauma Support. The sun was shining and it felt rude of me not to take full advantage of the opportunity. On countdown until 15/06 now. Donations gratefully received here: justgiving.com/page/michaela-…

Just returned from the most gorgeous weekend in Budapest 🇭🇺 it’s always been on my bucket list to explore; the architecture lived up to all my expectations. Here’s a snippet of what we managed to fit in our 72 hour break 🌍 I highly recommend everyone to go there and explore!

It’s been lovely to switch off for four days this week 🇪🇸 I’ve booked lots of little breaks this year; I’m determined to use my annual leave for real R&R and to recharge for the work year ahead. It’s so important we all find the time to take a proper break, even if it is short.

Another fun social this evening for the Leeds Leigh Day office (even if I am slightly envious I was pipped to first place across the whole office as bowling champion by Cam. I suppose 98 isn’t all that bad… 🤷🏼‍♀️) 🎳

Last day of tracking my steps for Back Up’s #SpinalCircuit . I’m so proud of team Leigh Day for everything we’ve achieved! Another £11 and we’ve hit our fundraising target which is ace! 🚲🚶‍♂️🏃🏽 Any final donations would be gratefully received here: spinal-circuit-2024.raisely.com/t/team-leigh-d…

Today in the Leeds Leigh Day office we are holding a bake sale to raise awareness and additional funds for Team LD who are taking part in the #SpinalCircuit . So far we have completed 1,249.5km as a team. Only 5 days left to go 🚲 🚶‍♂️ 🏃🏽

Another 7km for Back Up’s #SpinalCircuit today! Not long left now with just one week to go after this weekend. Any donations gratefully received for team Leigh Day here: spinal-circuit-2024.raisely.com/t/team-leigh-d…

A gorgeous event last night for the Spinal Injuries Association 50th #CornflowerBall . Thank you to Cobden House for the invite along; amazing company followed by an equally fab evening. Lovely to catch up with some familiar faces whilst raising funds for such a vital cause.

A short one today as I’ve been super busy, but another 3km clocked for Back Up’s #SpinalCircuit . Not much longer to go now! Any donations would be gratefully received here: spinal-circuit-2024.raisely.com/t/team-leigh-d…

Another cracking day yesterday for Back Up’s #spinalcircuit . 6km to add to the tally. Any donations for team Leigh Day would be gratefully received here: spinal-circuit-2024.raisely.com/t/team-leigh-d…

A bit messy, and I got carried away with the melted biscoff… but it’s officially Easter cheesecake season 🤤😍

Great to see the appeal upheld in this very significant Judgment. As lawyers, it’s so important for us to be involved in the rehabilitation and rehabilitation meetings to better understand our clients needs and support them wherever possible.

Another 6km to add to the bank for Back Up #SpinalCircuit … and I’ve officially hit my target of 50km! I suppose I just now I keep going and smash the target 💪🏼🎯 any donations to this great cause would be gratefully received here: spinal-circuit-2024.raisely.com/michaela-longl…

Inclusion is a vital part of a mentally healthy society. We need to tackle barriers like discrimination, bias, and stereotypes to achieve good mental health for all. This #InternationalWomensDay , we’re joining the call for women’s equality and inclusion. 💚

Great informative evening tonight at the Leeds&District MLS event with HHJ Gosnell hearing his reflections from the bench, followed by a fab curry afterwards. Thank you for the invite Leila Benyounes!
