This week is Mental Health Awareness Week 💙

At Derbyshire Community Bank, we know that money and mental wellbeing are closely connected. Financial worries can affect anyone at any time, and it’s important that people know they are not alone.

This week, we’re encouraging open conversations around mental health, financial stress, and supporting one another through difficult times.

Whether it’s checking in on someone, having a conversation, or reaching out for support yourself, small actions can make a big difference.
