Each May, millions of people from every part of society take part. They include people in schools and further education; private, public and charity sectors; families and individuals. Your donations help us continue to create this moment where we can all come together to build a society with good mental health where everyone can thrive. FIND YOUR MOMENTS FOR MOVEMENT Read our tips to help you get started moving more to improve your mental health. Read our tips MOVING MORE IS GOOD FOR OUR MENTAL HEALTH, SO WHAT'S STOPPING US? Regular physical activity is known to improve mental health, quality of life, and wellbeing. It also helps prevent and treat heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and breast and colon cancer, and more. Despite these benefits being well established, over a third of UK adults do not meet the recommended amount of activity. In our new report, we explore what’s stopping the UK population from being more active, and what could help get people moving more for their mental health. Read the report WHY MOVEMENT? One of the most important things we can do to help protect our mental health is regular movement. Our bodies and our minds are connected, so looking after ourselves physically also helps us prevent problems with our mental health. Exercise releases “feel good” hormones, that reduce feelings of stress and anger. It also helps us feel better about our bodies. It can improve our sleep too. If it involves other people, like being part of a team, a class or group we see regularly, that can also boost our mental health. Despite these benefits, so many of us struggle to move enough. We know there are many different reasons for this, so this Mental Health Awareness Week we want to help people to find moments for movement in their daily routines. Read more about why movement is this year's theme Our Mental Health Awareness Week campaign is not an 'exercise' campaign. Please always consult a healthcare or fitness professional if embarking on a new fitness regime. While moving our bodies regularly is important for our mental health, we know that for people with experience of eating disorders or exercise addiction, this message might be triggering. Our goal with the campaign is to help people find moments for movement to support good mental health and emotional calm. If you are worried that you or someone you care about is exercising excessively or causing harm, please visit BEAT for further information and support.
