Join the thousands of people around the UK kick-starting their 2019 in the most positive way.

At Solent Mind we are so excited to be taking part inRED January, a free month long event designed to encourage people to get active every day, to beat the blues away.

Whether you walk, run, swim, cycle or do whatever you fancy, the aim is to get moving daily, whilst raising awareness and support for mental health. It gives people a focus during a characteristically tough month and supports REDers through its online community.

Why take part? physical activity can have a positive impact on your mental wellbeing and even reduce symptoms of mental illness such as depression and anxiety.

For anyone wishing to fundraise, the money raised for Solent Mind will support our vital work in the local community, supporting mental health services and ensuring everyone experiencing a mental health problem gets the help and respect they deserve.

Registration is now open on the Solent Mind website. Closing date to register is Thursday 20th December 2018. Don't delay, sign up and take part.
