This year’s theme for Mental Health Awareness Week is movement. We spoke to one of our clients about the activities they enjoy and why they find them important.

“I walk. I walk to the shops and I like to walk to the train station to go to London. In August I’m going to see ‘Matilda’ with my Support Worker in London. I’m excited about that.

I also go swimming. I like the wave machine, it’s fun! And I enjoy running around in Ninja Warrior Adventure Centre. There’s a slide and things you can jump on there.

I like dancing and singing to Mamma Mia – I’ve got the DVD.

And I go horse riding every week. My Support Worker drives me there. It’s good. I like trotting. I’ve got a favourite horse called Leo. I like horses.”
