Mermaid Quay is supporting Mental Health Awareness Week. The week, which is hosted by the Mental Health Foundation, is in its 24th year and runs from 13 to 19 May.
This year, the theme for the week is ‘Movement: Moving more for our mental health’.
Being active is important for our mental health. But so many of us struggle to get enough exercise. 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. Going for a walk in your neighbourhood, putting on your favourite music and dancing around the living room, chair exercises when you’re watching television – it all counts!
