Run and Talk

Winter Monthly - The first Tuesday run of each month during our Winter training sessions is starts off with a Run and Talk session, normally we head along Preston Beach Wall towards The Oasis cafe. This gives members a chance to chat with all who are around, rather than just those members who are in their normal group.

Next on Thursday 10th October is World Mental Health Day. The theme of this year's event is suicide and suicide prevention. With this in mind, Bev and Nancy are organising a run/walk from the Pavilion starting at 6.30pm on 10th October. Please feel free to bring your partner, friends, families (and dogs) and maybe wear something green in support of mental health 💚 The Stable have very kindly agreed to us meeting up there after (top floor) for pizza and/or drinks so please bring some pennies if you'd like to join us.

There is a belief that when asked if we are OK, most people say they are fine when often they aren't. Learning to ask a little more or offer support can often be all that's needed to make a difference.

Every year close to 800,000 people globally take their own life and there are many more who attempt suicide. Every suicide is a tragedy that affects families, communities and has a long lasting affect on the people left behind. It's the leading cause of death among young people aged 20-34 years in the UK and is the second leading cause of death among 15-29 year olds globally.
