MENTAL HEALTH MONTH RECAP - Gym+Coffee

MENTAL HEALTH MONTH RECAP

Posted by Peter Catchpole on

To mark World Mental Health Day on October 10th, we ran a month-long agenda of activities to raise awareness, encourage conversation and shine a spotlight on our community who came together to support one another. Take a look at what our crew got up to.

We hosted our first ever +Pause mental health event in Central London. This was a 3-day pop-up well-being sanctuary where members of our community came together in a calm and supportive environment to relax, chat, listen, move, rest, and prioritise their mental health.

Walk Talk Walk leading the Gym+Coffee crew on a walk around Central London.RunTalkRun, Sanctuary Runners, Nichola Suitor, Solace House + Caroline McKenna hosted Walk+Talk sessions across 6 of our G+C Clubhouses and beyond on World Mental Health Day to allow our community to come together, have important conversations and support one another.
