Life can be busy and lots of things are competing for your attention in and out of work. That’s why it’s important to find time for yourself. Give your brain a break and escape into a book. Reading something you enjoy can help you relax and boost your mood and the benefits can be felt from anything, from magazines to graphic novels to recipes to post-match reports. Try it for 10 minutes and see where it takes you. We’re joining the National Literacy Trust at 10am on Thursday 10 October to #Take10ToRead this #WorldMentalHealthDay.

We have created some graphics for you to use on social media to show your support for the campaign.
