10 October is world mental health day. This years theme is; the mental health impact of repeated exposure to news coverage of crises and conflicts. There is so much going on globally right now that it can feel overwhelming.

Why not join in one of our free outdoor activities in your local park so that you can take a break from the news and connect with nature and your local community.

Physical activity has lots of benefits for our mental health - helping manage stress, build confidence, lift mood, and ease symptoms of anxiety and depression. See link in the comments to find out what's going on near you.
