To shine a spotlight on the importance of mental health, Nottingham Forest Community Trust is hosting a special event, “Mental Health Awareness Week Walk – Let’s Get Moving.” This event is scheduled to take place on Thursday, 16 May 2024, from 6pm to 7pm at The City Ground. This walk is more than just a physical activity; it’s a communal stride towards enhancing mental wellness.

Why Walk for Mental Health?

Mental Health Awareness Week aims to promote dialogue and understanding about mental health issues. The simple act of walking has been shown to have significant benefits for mental wellbeing, including reducing stress, anxiety, and depression. Walking also boosts self-esteem and can lead to a decrease in feelings of loneliness and isolation.

The event at Nottingham Forest Community Trust will not only provide an opportunity for participants to engage in physical activity but also to connect with others in the community who are supportive of mental health causes. The walk will encompass a walk around the iconic City Ground, allowing participants to enjoy the sights while contributing to a collective goal of walking 200 miles throughout the week.

What to Expect?

Participants will enjoy a leisurely walk alongside fellow community members, which will include opportunities for wellbeing chats. These discussions will focus on the benefits of walking and general strategies for improving mental health. Whether you’re looking to meet new people, enjoy a bit of exercise, or simply take a break and clear your mind, this event promises to be beneficial.

How to Participate:

Participation in the walk is entirely free, but registration is required to manage numbers and ensure a safe and organised event. Spaces are limited and a booking is required.

The Mental Health Awareness Week Walk at Nottingham Forest Community Trust is more than just a community event; it’s a vital part of the ongoing conversation about mental health. By joining the walk, you’re not only taking steps towards your own mental wellbeing but also raising awareness and contributing to the broader goal of a healthier community.
