According to the UK's Office of National Statistics, one in six adults nationwide have experienced a form of depression. It is understood that figures are sharply on the rise amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
As part of a wider programme of community outreach work, the Bristol City Robins Foundation are looking to tackle mental health issues in Bristol with the launch of their Robins Talk series.
The sessions are inclusive and social, open to any sex and/or gender, and attendees do not need to be receiving help or show a diagnosis to attend.
Exercise is known to boost your mood, self-esteem and confidence, and with adults generally becoming less active during the pandemic, the Robins Foundation are providing a timely opportunity for supporters to socialise.
Anyone struggling with mental health - or just having a hard time - is encouraged to get involved and join in. Head over to the Bristol City website to find all the details or get in touch with the organisers with any queries.
