Community Sky Blues hosted a 5k walk

SKY BLUES in the Community hosted a 5km walk promoting mental health and wellbeing.

On 14 June, SBitC hosted the walk around the perimeter of the Coventry Building Society Arena and was organized by John Szyndler, Health and Wellbeing Manager and George Heaton, Health and Wellbeing Co-ordinator.

The scheme had a participation from members of the SBitC MENTtalk project.

MENTalk is dedicated to supporting men aged 18+, providing mental health support through sport and mentoring from mental health co-ordinators.

Coventry Pathways, another group committed to supporting men through mental health struggles, joined the event.

Known for organizing wellness walks, talks and hiking trips, Coventry Pathways have brought their distinctive approach to the collaborative endeavour.

To support participants, people from NHS Talking Therapies, Coventry, Warwickshire and Solihull attended the event.

John Szyndler said: “This walk during Men’s Health Week is a fantastic way to draw attention to the resources available to men struggling with mental health issues.

“By working with Coventry Pathways and NHS Talking Therapies, we are showing that there is a strong support network ready to help.”

Liam Farrell, added: “A fantastic experience, shared with other men’s local talking therapies that Coventry Pathways was honored to be a part of.”
