Feel better, one hug at a time.
This Mental Health Awareness Week, the London Heritage Quarter invites you to slow down, reconnect, and experience the simple power of human connection through our Hug Bubbles.
We all have days when things feel overwhelming, and sometimes, all it takes is a hug to make things just a little bit better. Science backs this up too: hugging can increase levels of serotonin, the “feel-good” hormone, helping to lift our mood, reduce stress, and create a sense of calm and belonging. It’s a small gesture that can have a big impact.
To help spread a little more warmth, for every hug our Hug Bubbles receive, £1 will be donated to the Cardinal Hume Centre – a charity supporting people facing poverty and homelessness.
Come find a moment of joy, connection and comfort. Because sometimes, a hug is just what the heart needs. If you are not in the mood for a hug, but still want to help? Please donate directly to Cardinal Hume Centre here.
Moving More for Mental Health
How active are you? Movement plays a vital role in supporting our mental health, yet many of us find it hard to fit it in. That’s why this year’s Mental Health Awareness Week is all about encouraging everyday movement—helping people discover simple ways to stay active. With so much to see and do in our capital, it’s the perfect time to get out and get moving. Discover how you can stay active across London Heritage Quarter and explore the events happening throughout the week. Click here.
