How Sport Helps Mental Health

Taking part in sport or physical activity regularly really does have a positive impact on both our mental and physical health.

"Sport in Mind sessions helped me remember how to have fun, enjoy myself and not worry about every little thing. I attended for over a year and they gave me the positive focus i'd been missing, helping me rebuild my self esteem and realise that life was still worth living"
