We're looking for non-NHS physical activity providers to share experiences and support needs for engaging with people who live with severe mental illness (schizophrenia, bipolar disorder).
Have no such experience? We still want to hear from you!

Social opportunities at @parkrun foster the formation of deep connections as well as casual interactions that benefit mental wellbeing among middle aged men in Ireland.
