Moving for Mental Health

We aim to improve mental health & reduce loneliness through fitness, sport, movement & play. We do this through year-round accessible activities that are centred around moving to feel good & connection whilst becoming proactive about mental health.

What is this service?

Improving mental health is at the heart of what we do.

 We are passionate about resourcing our participants with tools and strategies to build resilience, support their own mental wellbeing and encouraging connections across communities, boosting support networks. 

Mental health is not simply a ‘tag on’ for us, it is at the centre of all we do as an organisation.

Our staff team, including fitness professionals, all undergo rigorous training in our methods to help foster a safe space, where play, spontaneity, creativity and mindfulness is utilised to create bonds between participants and help participants to identify and manage their own needs.

We work alongside NHS partners, Mental Health professionals and local organisations to support individuals through our work.

Beginners to exercise are very much welcomed to our sessions.

Individuals are able to self refer to our service. All participants are required to complete a Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire ahead of beginning sessions to ensure they are medically safe to exercise- please seek GP advice if you are unsure.

We have a number of projects throughout the year so do visit our website to see what projects are currently running in your local area.

Our sessions are free to attend, however if you would like to make a donation to the service when you take part, we do have a 'donation pot' at each session.
