Make inside feel better Living through any crisis is tough and everyone reacts differently. Sometimes we just need a bit of help to stay positive which is why the NHS has launched the Make Inside Better campaign with lots of practical advice.
There’s a quick quiz to create a personal mind plan with tips to help you feel more positive about issues concerning you. And the website is packed with advice on improving your sleep, reframing the way you think and using mindfulness and meditation as well as ideas for staying connected to others, exercise, healthy eating and taking time to appreciate positive things that happen every day. Visit www.nhs.uk/oneyou/every-mind-matters/yourmind-plan-quiz or find your nearest park or greenspace at www.salford.gov.uk/parks. Please follow the current COVID-19 regulations.

Salford to pass GO Salford is to get its own official edition of MONOPOLY and local people can shape what goes on the board. The creators say Salford was chosen because of people’s pride in the city and as the new ‘showbiz’ capital of the north. Hundreds of top shows including Peaky Blinders, Cold Feet, The Circle and Peter Kay’s Carshare, BBC Sports Personality of the Year and The Voice have been filmed in Salford.
City Mayor Paul Dennett said he was delighted to see Salford recognised by the world’s most popular board game and join London, Dubai and Sydney in having its own edition. “We have many famous landmarks which could make up the board from the Bridgewater Canal and the Delph to the iconic Salford Lads’ Club, The Lowry, MediaCityUK, Ordsall Hall, Salford Cathedral and RHS Garden Bridgewater and more. I look forward to seeing people’s suggestions,” he said.
You can vote for Salford landmarks and cards to include in the game by email salford@winningmoves.co.uk or posting on the official City of Salford MONOPOLY Facebook page or writing to: The MONOPOLY: City of Salford Edition game, Winning Moves, 7 Praed Street, London W2 1NJ. Polling closes at 23.59pm on 2 April. Winning Moves is producing the Salford version of MONOPOLY under licensing from Hasbro. It will be in the shops in October 2021.
