💙 Can moving more help improve mental wellbeing?

Over the last few months, people living with a severe mental illness (SMI) have taken part in supportive movement sessions designed to boost wellbeing, build confidence and reduce isolation.

As part of the Wellbeing, Belonging and Moving for Mental Health project, we have helped support the development of inclusive, accessible activities and worked with partners to embed physical activity into local mental health pathways.

New evaluation findings highlight the positive difference that movement, connection and a sense of belonging can make.

You can read the findings and discover the activities available through the project here 👇
