Exciting announcement!

At a time when so many of us are looking for ways to manage stress, lift our mood, and feel more connected, this partnership brings together the best of both worlds - trusted mental health support and a passion for helping people discover movement that genuinely feels good.

Our shared aim is simple - to help more people experience the mental health benefits of being active, find an activity that’s right for them, and feel the positive impact movement can have on everyday life.

We can’t wait to get started, and we’d love you to join us. 💙 Find your moment. Find your move. Find Your Active and Move for Your Mind.

Blue Monday: You’re Not Alone

Today is often referred to as Blue Monday – a day when people frequently feel low, tired, or overwhelmed.
But low moods don’t follow a calendar, and it’s okay if today feels hard… or if it doesn’t.

Ways that may support your wellbeing :

- Rest
- Take a pause from your screens
- Take time for things you enjoy
- Move your body (gently)
- Let's talk

If you require support or would like to enquire about our counselling services, please call our helpline on 01268 289700 or visit www.basmind.org
