Get Set to Go
Our Get Set to Go programme aims to improve the quality of life for anyone with a mental health problem through access to sport and physical activity in Warwickshire. With support from Sport England and the National Lottery, Get Set to Go is proven to overcome the barriers that some of us face when trying to get active.
As part of the project, we will be running a series of taster sessions throughout 2020 to enable you to try different activities, free of charge. Details of taster sessions can be found below.
The Stratford upon Avon ‘walk and talk’ group takes place weekly on a Monday afternoon, for location details and more information please contact Dave directly.

Toolkits
Mind has developed two toolkits to help support you to provide sport and physical activity services to people with mental health problems. They share learning and best practice from other organisations, and use real examples and tested resources.
The two toolkits have been designed by Mind to work alongside each other, but one is specifically for mental health organisations and one for the sports sector. Click on the front covers below to have a flick through:
Thriving at Work: A guide for the sport and physical activity sector
Thriving at Work is an independent review that outlines what employers can do to better support all employees, including those with mental health problems, to remain in and thrive through work. Through National Mind we’re collaborating with the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, the Sport and Recreation Alliance, and Sport England to help employers across the sport and physical activity sector to understand and implement the Thriving at Work standards.
Our free guide for employers looks at each of the standards in turn. It provides practical examples of what employers are doing across the sector, as well as helpful tools.
Just starting out or short on time? Our one page document connects you with key resources for each step of your journey to support mental health at work.
