London Marathon 2019 · 28 April 2019 ·

Seven University of Bristol alumni, students and staff are running the 2019 London Marathon in support of Healthy Minds, a physical activity intervention that taps into the benefits of exercise to support students affected by mental ill health.

Story

Physical activity has been proven to boost mood and reduce feelings of anxiety, stress and depression. This idea is at the heart of the Healthy Minds programme, which helps University of Bristol students with mental health difficulties to get more active and maintain this behaviour in a supported, friendly environment. The three-month user-led programme includes sessions with an activity mentor, a tailored activity plan and support for future health maintenance, as well as access to a range of classes, clubs and sporting opportunities. The core programme, delivered by the Division of Sport, Exercise and Health at the University of Bristol, has yielded clinically significant improvements in wellbeing among participants. It has positively impacted more than one hundred students over the past two years, and with the help of donations from generous supporters, it will be able to grow and help greater numbers of people.
