Raring to go for RED January
We’re excited to announce we will be part of Mind’s exclusive partnership with RED January for 2020!
At Mind in Bradford, we know the benefits that physical activity can have for mental wellbeing and wanted to offer you, our local community, something that would inspire you to support yourself and others. The idea behind RED January is to challenge yourself to get active every day, your way.
Whether you run, swim, cycle or choose your favourite fitness activity, set your goal and enjoy support from the RED community every step, splash and pedal of the way! We’ll be sharing more details about how you can sign up for your Mind in Bradford RED January fundraising kit, so keep your eyes peeled on our website and social media pages over the next few months.

With just one week left to the end of January those of you have been part of RED January may be beginning to feel the tired from being active every day!
And so as the weekend begins remember be gentle with yourselves... taking it easy on a couple of days doesn't mean you've quite your challenge, it simply means resting and taking time to reflect on your efforts so far is just as important to your mental wellbeing as exercising!
Why not take a gentle stroll, so some stretching or simply give yourself the gift of a rest day and use your time to feel proud of what you've done and reach out to friends and family for encouragement.
To see how others have been getting on through January why not take our REDDERs JustGiving pages here and show your support, or ask your friends to sponsor you too!

Have you lost a loved one to suicide? If so, a new service based at Mind in Bradford could help you.
The extra support is part of the West Yorkshire and Harrogate Suicide Bereavement Service and run by Leeds Mind. It includes one-to-one support and peer support for anyone in Bradford and Wakefield who has lost someone to suicide.
The loss could be a partner, family member, friend or work colleague and can be recent or from decades past.
Senior Postvention Practitioner Christian Smith will be running monthly peer support groups at our HQ at Kenburgh House in Bradford. Everyone who works for the service, including Christian, has been personally affected by suicide.
The next peer support group one will be held on Friday, January 24 between 6-8pm. There is no need to book, just turn up.
For more information, visit www.wyhsbs.org.uk.
As we near the end of our RED January challenge... many of you taking part may be beginning to feel a little tired from active-every-day challenge so this weekend why not try something gentle & relaxing and remember to be proud of what you've achieved!
