Boosting your mental health through movement

Mental Health Awareness Week 2024. Community connections, boosting your mental health through movement together. Starting new habits can be tough, especially when it feels like you're going it alone. But guess what? You're not alone, and together, we can make new movements a little bit easier.

One of the great things about engaging in movement with others is the added support and encouragement that comes with it. So why not reach out to a neighbour, family member, or even someone from our community and take those first steps toward better mental and physical wellbeing together?

Making new connections through movement can have a big impact on your overall sense of wellbeing. By meeting new people, forming friendships, and decreasing feelings of loneliness, you're not only improving your mental health but also enriching your life in so many ways.

At Age UK County Durham, we offer a variety of community activities to get your body moving. Whether you're interested in trying tai chi, joining a circuit class, or exercising to music, there's something for everyone to enjoy. Check out our Activities Calendar to find something near you.

If you're feeling unsure or could use some extra support, don't hesitate to reach out to us, call us on 0191 386 3856.  We're here to provide telephone support, guidance, and encouragement as you embark on this journey toward improved mental health.

Together, let's step into movement, build meaningful connections, and uplift each other along the way. You've got this!
