Last week was mental health awareness week. It’s important to look after our physical health and our mental health especially during these difficult times. We have pulled together information on a range of mental health issues and the services and help that is available including the 11 top tips for good mental health.
The Coronavirus has had an impact on all our lives. For many it brings extra worries about families, physical and mental health and the impact of living in lockdown. People may also be worried about their jobs, their finances and paying their bills. We have pulled together a range of websites offering help, information and advice on coronavirus and its impact.
As a community based club we are keen to help everyone living in our community who maybe needs that extra little bit of help just now. We are putting out a call for people who could help distribute shopping, or who could donate to foodbanks or help with the “scrubs” campaign. We also want to hear your running stories. Can you help us?
