RESIDENTS have been encouraged to complete a single mile in an attempt to improve mental health.

As well as the many people already taking part in RED January there is also the Mental Health Mile Barrow, which is taking place across three Sundays on the 27 January, 17 February and 17 March at 3pm.

Organisers have said that the mile can be completed "any way you can", whether that is on foot, in a wheel chair or with your dog and it is all about "supporting mental health through exercise."

Residents are also able to complete the mile anyway they choose, whether that is by running or walking. Each event will be setting off from Barrow Park Bandstand and registration will be open from 2:30pm.

If you wish to take part or learn more about the event you can contact Janice on 07717 417222 or Ian on 07960 235 880 or email at: ianl.jones@sky.com. To enter go to Eventbrite.
