JD Foundation and The Mix launch new mental health support scheme for men
JD Sports ' UK's charity arm JD Foundation has picked upcoming Men's Mental Health Week to team up with The Mix, the digital service for young people offering 'ongoing, meaningful support to young men across the country'. Together, they're launching a raft of new informative and supportive resources 'designed to tackle the mental health crisis among young men and provide a safe, supportive space to open up'. Live from Monday (9 June), the new partnered content will feature a JD Foundation-sponsored discussion board, where men can join and discuss any issues they're facing with other peers 'in a supportive, anonymous space'. Alongside the discussion boards, The Mix will also be releasing a special episode of its podcast, the 'Mix Six ix', hosted by Owen Wood, winner of BBC's Race Across The World in 2024, and featuring JD Sports team members opening up about their own mental health journeys. The organisations are also hitting the streets across the UK with a series of street interviews, capturing what mental wellbeing means to young men today. There will also be partnered social media content and articles focused on real life stories from young people. This will all be hosted on The Mix's newly relaunched website, offering content, community, coaching and crisis support, with a broad range of integrated services. This initiative marks the first step in a wider, long-term collaboration between The Mix and JD Foundation, with ongoing campaigns and joint content planned 'to keep mental health at the heart of youth culture'. Recent data from The Mix shows that 58% of young men identify anxiety and depression as their biggest mental health challenges. Yet stigma remains high, and asking for help is still one of the toughest steps, it says. Encouragingly, 82% of young men say they would consider using peer support if they needed help with their mental health – 'a clear call to action that this new raft of support is answering'. Aaron Probert, charity manager for the JD Foundation, said: 'These new resources are about creating meaningful content and support that is accessible, inclusive and reflective of the real conversations young men want and need to have.'

What time does loud music and noise have to stop in the UK?
Loud music from next-door neighbours, especially on a weekday, is a common headache that comes with living in a residential area. Luckily, there are a number of rules in place to regulate this, as well as sanctioned actions you can take if you are affected. If you're unable to get to sleep and want to know what you can do to get your neighbours to quieten down, look no further. What time does a neighbour need to stop playing loud music in the UK? Estate Agents Ellis and Co says that the Noise Act 1996 defines the maximum acceptable amount of noise that can be made during 'night hours,' which are between 11pm and 7am. The permitted noise levels after 11pm in England and Wales are 34 dBA (decibels adjusted) where background noise is no higher than 24dBA and 10dBA above the level of background noise if this exceeds 24dBA. Disucssing the Antisocial Behaviour etc. (Scotland) Act 2004, the Scottish Government states: "In any case where the underlying level of noise does not exceed 21dB between the hours of 23.00 - 07.00 (night), 27dB between the hours of 19.00 - 23.00 (evening) and 31dB between the hours of 07.00 and 19.00 (day), the permitted level shall be 31dB, 37dB and 41dB for each of the noise control periods respectively." While it isn't technically illegal to play loud music after these hours, but doing so makes it easier for the council to take action as it doesn't have to be considered a 'statutory nuisance', according to The Mix. Can I call the police if my neighbours are playing loud music at night? Citizens Advice says you should try and resolve the issue informally by speaking with your neighbours about the noise. If this doesn't work, it might be a good idea to contact their landlord (if they rent) about the issue. If the problem continues, you could also keep a record or diary of the disturbances for future evidence. If an informal approach is unsuccessful, you can take action by contacting your local authority (usually the environmental health department). They might be able to visit your neighbour to ensure the loud music or noise is reduced. Recommended Reading: How high can a garden fence between neighbours be in the UK? Can someone use my driveway to turn around without permission? If the local council officer thinks there is a noise problem, they might be able to issue a notice (for night hours) which allows them to hand out fines if the problem continues. For noise coming from people in public spaces, the police can get involved as this may be classed as anti-social behaviour. This is also the case in Scotland, where police can issue fines and confiscate sound-producing equipment.
