From 13th-19th May the NHS and multiple charitable & health organisations are encouraging people across the UK to 'move more for their mental health' as part of Mental Health Awareness Week. Throughout May, we’ve organised a series of free indoor and outdoor activities hosted by members of the ARC Team, all aimed at promoting physical and mental health and wellbeing.
There'll be fun and active outdoor activities including Rounders on the Beach, Pilates in the Park and a special Beach Bootcamp, as well as quieter indoor activities such as Cribbage (for all levels of player), jigsaw puzzles, board games, and even needle felting! See below for the full schedule of events.
We’ll also be sharing multiple resources, hints & tips across our social media channels to raise awareness of the benefits of physical activity for the mind. You can find us on Facebook and Instagram @atlanticracquetcentre.
You can use the links next to each event to book your free place.
