SWR Mind Get Active Project Coming To Scarborough

A mental health charity has launched a project in Scarborough to help more people get active in a bid to improve their mood. 

Scarborough, Whitby and Ryedale's Mind Get Active Connector is being put in place to show people the benefits of physical activity on our mental wellbeing. 

Hayley Doubtfire is the Get Active Connector Lead and says that the project is open to anyone in the local area.

The project is funded as part of Mind's charity partnership with sports brand ASICS and builds on the charity's previous work to break down the barriers preventing people with mental health problems from being active.

Doubtfire says that taking parting in physical activities has many health and social benefits. 

Scarborough, Whitby & Ryedale Mind will be running a number of taster sessions over the coming months, where you can try out different activities. They are also planning on running longer term programmes including chair aerobics, walking and geocaching.

We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.

A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
