On Sunday the 23rd of January, members of staff at Bosence Drug & Alcohol treatment will be taking part in the Storm Force 10 a 10-mile road race starting from Camborne School & Community, passing through Leedstown and Praze.

Those taking part will be raising sponsorship monies which will be used to purchase new exercise equipment for our clients to make use of. The beneficial effects of exercise for those in recovery are well documented and include: a reduction in stress, better sleep, improved mood, a stronger immune system and increased energy. Several studies have also found that regular exercise can prevent relapse by effectively managing depression and anxiety through structure and routine.

The exercise equipment purchased will depend on the fund raised, however we are hoping to raise enough to include the purchase a running machine which will be particularly useful during the winter months.
