Our Mental Health Champions

Barrow Runners has a Mental Health Champion as part of England Athletics' #RunAndTalk Programme; a national network of volunteers in EA affiliated clubs that promote mental wellbeing through running.

Our Champion is Sue Taylor.

EA's goal is to have a Mental Health Champion in every England Athletics affiliated club in England so that people experiencing mental health problems can access the benefits of running in a supported way.

  • Support all people who people who are experiencing mental health problems to start running, get back into running, or continue running
  • Share guidance and resources that can help with mental health
  • Adopt a positive, patient and supportive approach towards people with mental health problems

Please approach Sue if you think she can help, or if you would like to know more about the #RunAndTalk Programme.
