This week is Mental Health Awareness Week. The theme is ‘Movement: Moving more for our mental health.’

One of the most important things we can do to help protect our mental health is regular movement. Our bodies and our minds are connected. Looking after ourselves physically can also help us prevent problems with our mental health.

Movement is a fantastic way to enhance our wellbeing, it also helps us feel better about our bodies and improve self-esteem. Just a short 10-minute walk can improve our mood, the quality of sleep and help with memory and brain function.
