Motion Text

That this House recognises that Mental Health Awareness Week, coordinated by the Mental Health Foundation, is between 11 and 17 May 2026; notes that the theme for this year is action; believes that, while awareness is vital, real change comes when people take action too; further believes that individual actions matter, and when people come together, they are even more powerful and taking even small actions can give people feelings of hope; and further recognises the important role that Mental Health Awareness Week plays in bringing attention to mental health.
