A little teaser from some filming our North Devon team have been enjoying this week. It’s been so inspiring to go outdoors and get to know local people who have used movement and activity to make some really positive changes to their lives. #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #DevonMovingTogether #ActiveDevon #Devon #EverydayMovement @addictstoathletesuk #Movement #Active #MHAW #NaturallyHealthyMay
Throwback Thursday!
What an incredible turnout for last year’s Neon Run Celebration Event in Okehampton, where over 350 young females and those who identify as female, sports leaders and staff from 14 schools across Devon came together to get active, have fun and celebrate movement.
Set against the stunning backdrop of Simmons Park in Okehampton, the event was a brilliant example of how Devon School Games can support young people to be active and enjoy the positive benefits of movement — without the pressure of competition.
And the best bit? We’re back next week for another brilliant day, this time with 17 schools attending! @ocrasport #DevonMovingTogether #Devon #Movement #EverydayMovement #NeonRun #Okehampton #DevonSchoolGames #ActiveDevon

It's Mental Health Awareness Week. This year’s theme is action.
One of the simplest actions we can take to support our mental health is to move a little more. Our bodies and minds are closely connected, so being active is not only great for physical health and fitness – it boosts your mood too. It's also #NaturallyHealthyMay so the perfect opportunity to get outdoors and experience the positive benefits being in nature can bring. We all have a role to play in supporting ourselves and others. #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #MHAW @mentalhealthfoundation #DevonMovingTogether #EverydayMovement #ActiveDevon #MentalHealth #Active #Devon #Movement

It's National Walking Month. How could you get more steps into your day? Could you do a lunchtime loop around the block. A school-run stroll. A walk-and-talk call?

Because every move matters.
