Mental Health Awareness Week, now in its 23rd year, runs from 15-21 May and is hosted by the charity, Mental Health Foundation. 

This year, the theme is ‘anxiety’. Across the UK, people are encouraged to get involved by sharing their experience of anxiety and the things that can help with the hashtag #ToHelpMyAnxiety.  As part of the campaign, the Mental Health Foundation will be publishing guidance on how we can manage and improve feelings of anxiety and prevent them from developing into a more serious mental health problem.

If a serious physical or mental illness makes it difficult to manage money, bills or other financial matters there is a simple solution. Your family or the people you trust can step in to help. But, and it’s a big BUT… only if you have a registered Lasting Power of Attorney. We all hope we never need to use it, but it can be so valuable if we do. The alternative is a court application for deputyship that is far more expensive, time consuming and intrusive than advance planning.

Lasting Powers of Attorney are about making a choice, not taking a chance.

You’ll find all the information you need to make your choices on our Lasting Powers of Attorney page. We also have a free e-guide that’s packed with helpful guidance for you and your family. Click the button below to get your copy today.
