Our first Fitness to Feel Better Group from Support in Mind Scotland who was funded a pilot through last year's fundraiser. Since then, A local Business, Richard Irvin FM, has fully funded this group of unpaid carers for a full 8 weeks course which begins in January!

This year's 2020 Fundraiser is looking to fully fund places for 4 other Tayside groups to join our Fitness to Feel Better Programme!

"Without exception everyone reported that these sessions had had a very positive impact on their caring role and asked that they be contacted if the opportunity ever arose to do more sessions with Andrew. We are very grateful for his input and his genuine passion in supporting mental health and wellbeing.”

-Julie MacEachen - Formerly of Support in Mind Scotland, now PKAVS

WHO WE ARE-SCOTLAND ALL-STRONG

My wife and I were not always living a healthy, active lifestyle. In fact, it was quite unhealthy and destructive. Both of us have struggled with bouts of poor mental health and adopted unhealthy habits as a way to cope. When we discovered we were going to be parents, we knew it was time to actively make changes for our son. We submerged ourselves in anything and everything we could to together, bring ourselves into a better state of physical and mental well-being, and have found the benefits of exercise to be vast.

We aim to directly provide people with positive experience of powerful tools of self-management for mental health, that include many other benefits besides, from better fitness and strength to improved balance, body shape and sleep to name just a few. In addition to getting people started in activity through our unique classes and programmes, we offer soothing relaxation scripts, and the opportunity for a blether or just a wee rest in our comfortable seating area after classes.

It is a journey, and it is our passion to help others along their own personal journeys towards happiness. We want to help people feel better and it is our aim to do that by providing services related to fitness, strength and mindfulness for ALL people which is why we are a Social Enterprise in the form of a Community Interest Company.

It is our mission to help direct people towards healthy and effective ways to manage their physical and mental well-being, and to take control of their fitness in the long term. We fully appreciate that it is not an easy journey, with ups and downs, we just need to take it one step, rep and day at a time.
