Much Loved
We have recently joined Much Loved, a tribute website that allows people to create a loving and lasting tribute to their loved ones. The Much Loved service allows you to easily create a beautiful memorial website to respect and cherish the memory of your loved one. This is a free service to create your own website in memory of someone special and is more suitable for tributes than Justgiving, so please take time to have a look at it on http://aware.muchloved.org/

Often people with depression are afraid to tell someone that they feel depressed and we know that talking about depression isn't easy. But being able to tell someone how you feel can help you start to get better. The volunteers, staff and supporters at Aware all have an understanding of depression and we know that talking with someone you trust is very important to your wellbeing and recovery. The stories on our website are your stories and they show that it is possible to get well again. If you would like to share your story or if you would like us to use your story to help others please contact Alison or Andrea at info@aware-ni.org
