Mental Health Charter for Physical Activity and Sport

Posted on January 25, 2019

Organisations are invited to become a Signatory of the recently launched Mental Health Charter for Physical Activity and Sport, supported by Scottish Association for Mental Health (the SAMH) and People Active for Change and Equality (PACE). The Charter’s role is to bring individuals and organisations together to provide support in breaking down the barriers for people with mental health conditions participating in activities.

As a Signatory, organisations will be encouraged to create an action plan and will be provided a toolkit to support their goals with social media posts to help spread these messages. The Charter aims to create a movement and community working across Scotland to improve mental health wellbeing.
