First finalist in the All in the Mind Awards 2021; memory under lockdown.

Claudia Hammond presents the first finalist in the All in the Mind Awards 2021. And Professor Catherine Loveday talks about her new research into our memories under lockdown.

Claudia Hammond talks to Professor Catherine Loveday of Westminster University about her new research on our memories during lockdown. Have our memories really got worse during the pandemic? 

And Claudia meets the first of the finalists in the All in the Mind Mental Health Awards 2021: we hear about StrongMen - a group set up to support men who have been bereaved. It was nominated by Adam Lee who suffered severe mental health issues following the unexpectedly loss of his daughter. The awards recognise the people and organisations that have gone above and beyond the call of duty to help you with your mental health. Radio 4 listeners nominated the unsung heroes and after a process of sifting through the entries, a judging panel of people with extensive experience of mental health has selected nine finalists, three from each category. 

And how come some people have found lockdown to be a positive experience. Is there anything those of us who've found it harder can learn from them?
