🏃 Move for Mental Health with Shout and GoodGym

To mark our partnerships with Zurich, Shout and GoodGym are teaming up to help give you even more opportunities to move with purpose and boost your mental wellbeing - one step, one minute, and one conversation at a time.

This Mental Health Awareness Week, 11 - 17 May, challenge yourself to move 30km or take 30 minutes each day to do something for your mental health.

GoodGym sessions combine getting fit with doing good. This session will mix a short run with physical volunteering to give an amazing mood boost, supporting your physical and mental health and your local community.

Meeting outside the Mark Lane offices, we'll be running 3.4km to the Galleywall Road Nature Garden where they've got a lot of jobs that need doing, there's a shed that needs relocating, some watering, weeding and tidying and potentially an old beehive to dismantle. They will provide us with all the tools, we just need to bring the energy!

All of this is to help preserve the garden, which is home to numerous native and non-native wetland species, and marginal vegetation, including flag iris, mint, purple loosestrife, marsh marigold, flowering rush, water lily species and reed canary grass amongst others.
