Introduction
Why we invest in mental health
There’s plenty of evidence that taking part in physical activity can have a profound and positive impact on mental wellbeing.
Being physically active can improve mood, decrease the chance of depression and anxiety and lead to a better and more balanced lifestyle.
Active Lives surveys show people who are active have higher mental wellbeing scores than those who are inactive.
That's why, through the Uniting The Movement strategy, SE are committed to supporting those who experience poor mental health and helping them to reap the benefits an active lifestyle can bring.
Understanding the impact of movement on mental health and wellbeing
To coincide with Mental Health Awareness Week 2024 and its theme of 'Moving more for our mental health', SE have released a special report that aims to increase our understanding about the impact of sport, physical activity and movement on our mental health and wellbeing.
The report dives deeper into data from the latest Active Lives survey (Nov 22 to Nov 23) and is supplemented with wider research from other sources.
