The other day, while walking along the riverside in Mortlake, I noticed two shiny metal canisters lying abandoned on the pavement.

This time, curiosity got the better of me. I started asking around and discovered something unsettling: these innocuous-looking capsules are being used by teenagers to inhale what’s known as Fast Gas – a cheap, readily available and alarmingly popular drug.

In April we celebrate National Volunteer Week (April 16-22). My experience with volunteering for the homeless in Wandsworth and my hypnotherapy sessions with Marygrace Anderson led me to think about a connection between the two. I spoke to Marygrace about this and she came up with these thoughts. Volunteering is a rewarding experience, but it can also be emotionally demanding. Volunteers often encounter challenging situations, whether working with vulnerable populations, responding to crises, or managing high expectations. Emotional resilience – the ability to adapt and recover from stress, setbacks, and emotional strain – is essential for volunteers to maintain their well-being and continue their impactful work. Hypnotherapy can be a powerful tool in strengthening emotional resilience by helping individuals develop a more balanced, calm, and adaptive mindset.
