We're facing the biggest cost of living crisis in a generation and its affecting mental health.

Food, fuel, power, housing costs. This crisis is hitting everyone from all directions with a speed and severity we've not seen in decades.

Since last April, a third of people (33%) feel less able to afford activities beneficial to their mental wellbeing.

Many of your staff, volunteers, members, coaches, athletes and community will be impacted negatively.

You may be facing increased energy costs, increased travel and staff fees at the same time gym memberships and subscriptions are falling.
