Find Your Active: Move For Your Mind brings about a new chapter from the successful Find Your Active campaign; a county-wide movement, inspiring people of all ages and abilities across the county to discover and enjoy ways to get moving – whether that be getting out in the garden, a short walk, social bike ride or a friendly game of football. It celebrates the fact that everyone can enjoy the huge benefits of moving more, it’s just about finding what’s right for you.
Building on that momentum, Find Your Active: Move For Your Mind, powered by Essex Public Health, brings a fresh lens to the initiative by highlighting the powerful connection between physical activity and mental wellbeing. Whether it’s a gentle walk in nature, a dance class with friends, or a calming yoga session, this campaign celebrates movement as a tool, not just for physical health, but as a catalyst for improving mood, reducing stress and building resilience.
