• Offer supportive, accessible and affordable services – where possible offering fully funded services free to members
• Raise awareness of mental health issues & work towards normalising them
• Reduce loneliness/isolation
• Provide a non-judgemental support service
• Offer peer support programmes
• Get the inactive active
• Inspire & motivate individuals and groups
• Support businesses with their wellbeing offer
• Focus on prevention of mental health issues
• Work alongside other organisations on suicide prevention and reduction

We aim to help our members improve and manage their mental health, through physical activity and talking. Our team all have their own lived experiences, and are trained to be supportive, encouraging and motivating.

We are committed to working together with our members, the local community, organisations and health professionals, to offer an inclusive and safe space for people to learn to manage their physical and mental health, with a network of support behind them. 

We are dedicated to helping build a happier and healthier environment, where mental health can be discussed as openly and as confidently as physical health. We aim to reduce stigma, raise awareness of the trickier subjects such as suicide, work towards suicide prevention and help bust any myths around mental health.
