Earlier we saw short doc, Hydebank, made by Hub friend @MC_clean91, & co-edited by Stuart Sloan. A brave & insightful look at a young prisoner, and his work looking after the sheep at Hydebank, which gives him focus and hope for the future. Great film, and Q &A. Well done all!

Bereavement is the theme of today's Mental Health Awareness Week. The pandemic has made grieving the loss of a loved one more difficult with restricted funerals and social distancing in place. If you have been affected, have a look through these resources buff.ly/2WNQowR
